Famous quotes containing the word grace:

    “Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
