Famous quotes containing the word plain:

    Take back the beauty and wit you bestow upon me; leave me my own mediocrity of agreeableness and genius, but leave me also my sincerity, my constancy, and my plain dealing; ‘tis all I have to recommend me to the esteem either of others or myself.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
