An addition to beauty

Grace is the spiritual or non-material aspect of giving and gratitude. 
"Grace ... is also charm – not beauty but an addition to beauty, something undefinable about a face, a pose, or a gesture that makes the person gifted with it irresistible. It gives delight to the onlooker without a thought of 'getting back' pleasure in return; graceful people are the more graceful for being uncalculating of their gift." (The Gift of Thanks, Margaret Visser, 2008; page 379).
