#Cicero wrote: “whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.” As beauty is the appearance of health in the body, #gracefulness is the appearance of virtue in the character. Conceptually we can separate virtue from gracefulness, he said but in the real world they always show up together.

Ernest #Hemingway, when he defined “guts” as “grace under pressure,” was following this tradition of describing a virtue in terms of its graceful appearance.

We reveal what is disgraceful about our characters either by behaving wholeheartedly disgracefully, which is itself ugly, or by forcing ourselves into a pantomime of grace, in which case the tension between the outer appearance and the moral sensibility is likely to surface through a lack of #gracefulness. For example: It can be hard to avoiding telegraphing it when you’re doing someone a good deed begrudgingly.

The #gracefulness with which we perform an action is kind of like the body language and tone we use when speaking: it can communicate more, and more reliably, than the words (or the acts) themselves.

Friedrich Schiller thought that #gracefulness happens when otherwise hidden inner-beauty of the virtuous will transforms itself into a perceivable phenomenon through motion.

Is #gracefulness a #virtue (a characteristic habit that exhibits or promotes human flourishing) or is it more like a happy consequence of virtues?

Should you aim for it directly, or only as a by-product of something else?
