More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn and here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin in tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.
Rudyard Kipling
Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
Rudyard Kipling
I keep six honest serving men.
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
Rudyard Kipling
We had a kettle we let it leak: Our not repairing made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week... The bottom is out of the Universe.
Rudyard Kipling
Though our smoke may hide the Heavens from your eyes, It will vanish and the stars will shine again, Because, for all our power and weight and size, We are nothing more than children of your brain!
Rudyard Kipling
God gives all men all earth to love, but since man's heart is small, ordains for each one spot shall prove belov?d over all.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Not getting what you want either means you don't want it enough, or you have been dealing too long with the price you have to pay.
Rudyard Kipling
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
Rudyard Kipling
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
Rudyard Kipling
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say:- 'Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you, We will therefore pay you cash to go away.'
Rudyard Kipling
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
Rudyard Kipling
Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim.
Rudyard Kipling
Payday came and with it beer
Rudyard Kipling
There is no sin greater than ignorance.
Rudyard Kipling
Like the destroyer, the submarine has created its own type of officer and man with language and traditions apart from the rest of the service, and yet at the heart unchangingly of the Service
Rudyard Kipling
