More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Favouritism governed kissage, Even as it does in this age.
Rudyard Kipling
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins, when all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins.
Rudyard Kipling
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made By singing 'Oh how wonderful' and sitting in the shade, While better men than we go out, and start their working lives By grubbing weeds from garden paths with broken dinner knives.
Rudyard Kipling
Well, if I am a man, a man I must become.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
But remember please, the Law by which we live, we are not built to comprehend a lie, we can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die.
Rudyard Kipling
I have my own matches and sulphur, and I'll make my own hell.
Rudyard Kipling
Everyone is more or less mad on one point.
Rudyard Kipling
Oh East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.
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
There is no sin so great as ignorance. Remember this.
Rudyard Kipling
Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew — (Twenty bridges or twenty two) — Wanted to know what the River knew, For they were young, and the Thames was old And this is the tale that River told.
Rudyard Kipling
One can't prescribe books, even the best books, to people unless one knows a good deal about each individual person.
Rudyard Kipling
