More quotes by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling

One half of my head, from the top of my skull to the cleft of my jaw, hammers, bangs, sizzles while the other half, serene and content, looks on at the agony next door.
Rudyard Kipling
We had a kettle we let it leak: Our not repairing made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week... The bottom is out of the Universe.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
I have no gift of words, but I speak the truth.
Rudyard Kipling
No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be. Not all the books on all the shelves - but what the teachers are themselves.

A brave heart and a courteous tongue. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, Manling.
Rudyard Kipling
