Grace

Quotes



Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love
Gentleness succeeds better than violence
Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease; delicacy is not debility; nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health
Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners; beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies; but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation
Grace imitates modesty, as politeness imitates kindness
Gracefulness is to the body what understanding is to the mind
