Grace

Famous quotes containing the word grace:

“Fate wings with every wish th’ afflictive dart,
Each gift of nature, and each grace of art,”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“A darkness out of Asia that had crossed
Old Attic grace and Spartan discipline
With violence.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“... 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)
