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.

More quotes by 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
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male. A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty. Take my word for it, the silliest woman can manage a clever man But it takes a very clever woman to manage a fool. I never made a mistake in my life At least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards
Rudyard Kipling
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
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
She is intensely human, and lives to look upon life.
Rudyard Kipling
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn and here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin in tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.
Rudyard Kipling
The masterless man . . . afflicted with the magic of the necessary words. . . . Words that may become alive and walk up and down in the hearts of the hearers.
Rudyard Kipling
I have no gift of words, but I speak the truth.
Rudyard Kipling
Meddling with another man's folly is always thankless work.
Rudyard Kipling
Delight in the little things.
Rudyard Kipling
If England was what England seems, An not the England of our dreams, But only putty, brass, an' paint, 'Ow quick we'd chuck 'er! But she ain't!
Rudyard Kipling
Believe the best of everybody.
Rudyard Kipling
Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!
Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
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
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half child.
Rudyard Kipling
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
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Rudyard Kipling
I never made a mistake in my life at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards.
Rudyard Kipling
He who faces no calamity gains no courage.
Rudyard Kipling
