Nature is seldom in the wrong, custom always. Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu
The screech-owl, with ill-boding cry,
Portends strange things, old women say;
Stops every fool that passes by,
And frights the school-boy from his play.
Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu
