More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa-aa-aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah!
Rudyard Kipling
But remember please, the Law by which we live, we are not built to comprehend a lie, we can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die.
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
At twenty the things for which one does not care a damn should, properly, be many.
Rudyard Kipling
Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears, and so preparing the way for you later on. Sisters are women first, and sisters afterwards and you will find that you do yourself harm.
Rudyard Kipling
How can you do anything until you have seen everything,or as much as you can?
Rudyard Kipling
One learns more from a good scholar in a rage than from a score of lucid and laborious drudges.
Rudyard Kipling
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
Rudyard Kipling
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
Rudyard Kipling
Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.
Rudyard Kipling
The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky The deer to the wholesome wold And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid, As it was in the days of old.
Rudyard Kipling
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard Kipling
A brave heart and a courteous tongue. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, Manling.
Rudyard Kipling
I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.
Rudyard Kipling
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling
When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail, For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling
We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
Rudyard Kipling
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
Rudyard Kipling
