"I wish you would moderate that fondness you……" — Mary Wortley Montagu

I wish you would moderate that fondness you have for your children.… - Mary Wortley Montagu
"I wish you would moderate that fondness you have for your children. I do not mean you should abate any part of your care, or not do your duty to them in its utmost extent, but I would have you early prepare yourself for disappointments, which are heavy in proportion to their being surprising."
