More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Let all who build beware The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So, when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss, or murder, Is laid upon the man. Not on the Stuff - the Man!
Rudyard Kipling
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Sing, for faith and hope are high- None so true as you and I- Sing the Lovers' Litany: Love like ours can never die!
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
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.
Rudyard Kipling
Literature is a splendid mistress, but a bad wife.
Rudyard Kipling
Funny how the new things are the old things.
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
OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!
Rudyard Kipling
