More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
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
I worked like a horse and I ate like a hog and I slept like a dead man.
Rudyard Kipling
Both triumph and disaster are impostors.
Rudyard Kipling
Meddling with another man's folly is always thankless work.
Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
Rudyard Kipling
This is a brief life, but in its brevity it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.
Rudyard Kipling
The jungle speaks to me because I know how to listen.
Rudyard Kipling
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
When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew!
Rudyard Kipling
There is no sin so great as ignorance. Remember this.
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
Oh East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.
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
Also, we will make promise. So long as The Blood endures, I shall know that your good is mine: ye shall feel that my strength is yours: In the day of Armageddon, at the last great fight of all, That Our House stand together and the pillars do not fall.
Rudyard Kipling
Sing, for faith and hope are high- None so true as you and I- Sing the Lovers' Litany: Love like ours can never die!
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
There's a Legion that never was 'listed, That carries no colours or crest, But, split in a thousand detachments, Is breaking the road for the rest.
Rudyard Kipling
The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye.
Rudyard Kipling
OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!
Rudyard Kipling
A brave heart and a courteous tongue. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, Manling.
Rudyard Kipling
