More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
Rudyard Kipling
When man has come to the Turnstiles of Night, all the creeds in the world seem to him wonderfully alike and colorless.
Rudyard Kipling
I've just read that I am dead. Don't forget to delete me from your list of subscribers.
Rudyard Kipling
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
Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent.
Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
Rudyard Kipling
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
Though our smoke may hide the Heavens from your eyes, It will vanish and the stars will shine again, Because, for all our power and weight and size, We are nothing more than children of your brain!
Rudyard Kipling
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
Rudyard Kipling
Believe the best of everybody.
Rudyard Kipling
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard Kipling
A tale from which pieces have been raked out is like a fire that has been poked. One does not know the operation has been performed, but everyone feels the effect.
Rudyard Kipling
Keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
Rudyard Kipling
Teach us delight in simple things, and mirth that has no bitter springs.
Rudyard Kipling
The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye.
Rudyard Kipling
Both triumph and disaster are impostors.
Rudyard Kipling
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
Rudyard Kipling
The heart of a man to the heart of a maid- Light of my tents, be fleet- Morning awaits at the end of the world, And the world is all at our feet.
Rudyard Kipling
