More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'
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
Good Lord! who can account for the fathomless folly of the public?
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Let all who build beware The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So, when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss, or murder, Is laid upon the man. Not on the Stuff - the Man!

Rudyard Kipling
Literature is a splendid mistress, but a bad wife.
Rudyard Kipling
Something I owe to the soil that grew-More to the life that fed-But most to Allah who gave me two Separate sides of my head. I would go without shirt or shoes, Friends, tobacco, or bread Sooner than for an instant lose Either side of my head.
Rudyard Kipling
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
Rudyard Kipling
This is a brief life, but in its brevity it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.
Rudyard Kipling
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Rudyard Kipling
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
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.
