More quotes by 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
There is no sin so great as ignorance. Remember this.
Rudyard Kipling
Meddling with another man's folly is always thankless work.
Rudyard Kipling
The python dropped his head lightly for a moment on Mowgli's shoulders. A brave heart and a courteous tongue, said he. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, manling. But now go hence quickly with thy friends. Go and sleep, for the moon sets and what follows it is not well that thou shouldst see.
Rudyard Kipling
I worked like a horse and I ate like a hog and I slept like a dead man.
Rudyard Kipling
There's a Legion that never was 'listed, That carries no colours or crest, But, split in a thousand detachments, Is breaking the road for the rest.
Rudyard Kipling
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice - An humble and a contrite heart.
Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
Rudyard Kipling
When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter waters of hate, suspicion and despair, all the love in the world will not wholly take away that knowledge. Though it may turn darkened eyes for a while to the light, and teach faith where no faith was.
Rudyard Kipling
Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Rudyard Kipling
Youth had been a habit of hers for so long that she could not part with it.
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
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
Rudyard Kipling
There was a young man of Quebec Who was frozen in snow to his neck, When asked, 'Are you Friz?' He replied, 'Yes I is, But we don't call this cold in Quebec.'
Rudyard Kipling
Everyone is more or less mad on one point.
Rudyard Kipling
War is an ill thing, as I surely know. But 'twould be an ill world for weaponless dreamers if evil men were not now and then slain.
Rudyard Kipling
And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose, And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows.
Rudyard Kipling
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male. A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty. Take my word for it, the silliest woman can manage a clever man But it takes a very clever woman to manage a fool. I never made a mistake in my life At least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards
Rudyard Kipling
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Rudyard Kipling
Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!
Rudyard Kipling
