Grace

Famous quotes containing the word grace:

    “Each of the Arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a Muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.”
    —Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)

    “We two are left:
    I with small grace reveal
    distaste and bitterness;
    you with small patience
    take my hands.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
