More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.
Rudyard Kipling
When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew!
Rudyard Kipling
We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
Rudyard Kipling
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice - An humble and a contrite heart.
Rudyard Kipling
I worked like a horse and I ate like a hog and I slept like a dead man.
Rudyard Kipling
Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the world knew what truth was till some one had told a story.
Rudyard Kipling
Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep... For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that an' Chuck him out, the brute! But it's Saviour of his country, when the guns begins to shoot!
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
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
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
A thin grey fog hung over the city, and the streets were very cold for summer was in England.
Rudyard Kipling
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling
For it's guns this and guns that, and chuck 'em out, the brutes, But they're the Savior of our loved ones when the thugs begin to loot.
Rudyard Kipling
Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.
Rudyard Kipling
A tale from which pieces have been raked out is like a fire that has been poked. One does not know the operation has been performed, but everyone feels the effect.
Rudyard Kipling
I have seen something of this world, she said over the trays, and there are but two sorts of women in it-- those who take the strength out of a man, and those who put it back. Once I was that one, and now I am this.
Rudyard Kipling
Teach us delight in simple things, and mirth that has no bitter springs.
Rudyard Kipling
Believe the best of everybody.
Rudyard Kipling
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made By singing 'Oh how wonderful' and sitting in the shade, While better men than we go out, and start their working lives By grubbing weeds from garden paths with broken dinner knives.
Rudyard Kipling
Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling
