More quotes by 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
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
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
Rudyard Kipling
Now India is a place beyond all others where one must not take things too seriously—the midday sun always excepted.
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
All things considered, there are only two kinds of men in the world: those that stay at home and those that do not.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
There is no sin greater than ignorance.
Rudyard Kipling
I keep six honest serving men.
Rudyard Kipling
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Rudyard Kipling
The heart of a man to the heart of a maid- Light of my tents, be fleet- Morning awaits at the end of the world, And the world is all at our feet.
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
Who has smelled the woodsmoke at twilight, who has seen the campfire burning, who is quick to read the noises of the night?
Rudyard Kipling
All good people agree, And all good people say, All nice people, like Us, are We And every one else is They: But if you cross over the sea, Instead of over the way, You may end by (think of it!) looking on We As only a sort of They!
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.
Rudyard Kipling
They are fools who kiss and tell'-- Wisely has the poet sung. Man may hold all sorts of posts If he'll only hold his tongue.
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
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master.
Rudyard Kipling
The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye.
Rudyard Kipling
Well, if I am a man, a man I must become.
