More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling
Each dog barks in his own yard!
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
She is intensely human, and lives to look upon life.
Rudyard Kipling
There's no jealousy in the grave.
Rudyard Kipling
Four things greater than all things are Women and horses and power and War.
Rudyard Kipling
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
This is a brief life, but in its brevity it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.
Rudyard Kipling
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
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
One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
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
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
When man has come to the Turnstiles of Night, all the creeds in the world seem to him wonderfully alike and colorless.
Rudyard Kipling
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
Tis beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just IT. Some women will stay in a man's memory if they once walked down a street.
Rudyard Kipling
And that is called paying the Dane-geld but we've proved it again and again, that if once you have paid him the Dane-geld you never get rid of the Dane.
Rudyard Kipling
Funny how the new things are the old things.
Rudyard Kipling
Youth had been a habit of hers for so long that she could not part with it.
Rudyard Kipling
If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose love would follow me still Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
Rudyard Kipling
