Rudyard Kipling
Image
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
Rudyard Kipling

What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker?
Rudyard Kipling

God gives all men all earth to love, but since man's heart is small, ordains for each one spot shall prove belov?d over all.
