~ To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
~ ~ Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future. ~ ~ A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement. ~ ~ A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement ~ ~ Even the wisest woman you talk to is ignorant of something you may know, but an elegant woman never forgets her elegance. ~ ~ A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement. ~ ~ Why has elegance found so little following?
