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!

More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
The silliest woman can manage a clever man but it needs a very clever woman to manage a fool.
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
The Guns, Thank God, The Guns.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
Rudyard Kipling
A thin grey fog hung over the city, and the streets were very cold for summer was in England.
Rudyard Kipling
There is no sin greater than ignorance.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.
Rudyard Kipling
They copied all they could copy, But they couldn't copy my mind And I left them sweatin' and stealin', A year and a half behind.
Rudyard Kipling
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
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
Ship me somewhere east of Suez, where the best is like the worst, Where there aren't no Ten Commandments an' a man can raisea thirst.
Rudyard Kipling
Single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints.
Rudyard Kipling
A brave heart and a courteous tongue. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, Manling.
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
And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose, And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows.
Rudyard Kipling
I never made a mistake in my life at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards.
Rudyard Kipling
For it's guns this and guns that, and chuck 'em out, the brutes, But they're the Savior of our loved ones when the thugs begin to loot.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master.
Rudyard Kipling
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Rudyard Kipling
He who faces no calamity gains no courage.
Rudyard Kipling
