Elégance

"Elegance tends to be mistaken for superficiality and mere appearance.
Nothing could be further from the truth: some words are elegant, others can wound and destroy, but all are written with the same letters.

Flowers are elegant, even when hidden among the grasses in a meadow. The gazelle when it runs is elegant, even when it is fleeing from a lion.
Elegance is not an outer quality, but a part of the soul that is visible to others.

And even when passions run high, elegance does not allow the real ties binding two people to be broken."

Elegance

"Elegance tends to be mistaken for superficiality and mere appearance."

Garder son élégance en toute circonstance, et rester digne de soi-même, quelles que soient les chagrins et les déceptions.

C'est un beau chalenge, et c'est aussi la seule manière de rester fidèle à notre âme, en lui rendant la dignité qu'elle avait avant que les mauvais vents ne lui fassent courber la tête.

Elegance is not an outer quality, goal of the soul That share is visible to others.

Keep elegance in all circumstances, and remain worthy of itself, whatever the sorrows and disappointments. It is a nice chalenge, and it is also the only way to remain faithful to our soul, restoring the dignity it had before the evil winds make it bow the head.
