Beauty Quote by David Paul Kirkpatrick

“They learned to live contently with small things, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy not respectable, and to be rich not wealthy. They let the sacred and unconscious bloom amidst the common, rendering it all extraordinary.” quote by David Paul Kirkpatrick
