Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
And the end of the fight is tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, and the epitaph drear, A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.
Rudyard Kipling
The Three in One, the One in Three? Not so! To my own Gods I go. It may be they shall give me greater ease than your cold Christ and tangled Trinities.
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
If England was what England seems, An not the England of our dreams, But only putty, brass, an' paint, 'Ow quick we'd chuck 'er! But she ain't!
Rudyard Kipling
Of all the trees that grow so fair Old England to adorn, Greater are none beneath the Sun Than Oak, and Ash and Thorn.
Rudyard Kipling
A thin grey fog hung over the city, and the streets were very cold for summer was in England.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
Rudyard Kipling
