More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.
Rudyard Kipling
There are nine-and-sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, And every single one of them is right.

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
I keep six honest serving men (they taught me all i knew) Theirs names are What and Why and When And How And Where and Who.
Rudyard Kipling
Each dog barks in his own yard!
Rudyard Kipling
We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
Rudyard Kipling
One man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. ---The Thousandth Man
Rudyard Kipling
The Guns, Thank God, The Guns.
Rudyard Kipling
Single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master.
Rudyard Kipling
One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
Rudyard Kipling
If you give someone more than they can do, they will do it. If you give them only what they can do, they will do nothing.
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
Asia is not going to be civilized after the methods of the West. There is too much Asia and she is too old.
Rudyard Kipling
