Image
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
When man has come to the Turnstiles of Night, all the creeds in the world seem to him wonderfully alike and colorless.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
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
Image
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Never was isle so little, never was sea so lone, But over the scud and the palm-trees an English flag was flown.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I have seen something of this world, she said over the trays, and there are but two sorts of women in it-- those who take the strength out of a man, and those who put it back. Once I was that one, and now I am this.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa-aa-aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah!
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
Rudyard Kipling

Oh East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.

God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
There are nine-and-sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, And every single one of them is right.

An angry skipper makes an unhappy crew.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the world knew what truth was till some one had told a story.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
There are gems of wondrous brightness Ofttimes lying at our feet, And we pass them, walking thoughtless, Down the busy, crowded street. If we knew, our pace would slacken, We would step more oft with care, Lest our careless feet be treading To the earth some jewel rare.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
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!

One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
The tumalt and shouting dies, The captains and the kings depart. Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heat. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.
Rudyard Kipling
