More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
I am by nature a dealer in words, and words are the most powerful drug known to humanity.
Rudyard Kipling
If you give someone more than they can do, they will do it. If you give them only what they can do, they will do nothing.
Rudyard Kipling
All sensible men are of the same religion, but no sensible man ever tells.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
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
He wrapped himself in quotations - as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
Rudyard Kipling
Those who only know England know not England.
Rudyard Kipling
Shere Khan, the Big One, has shifted his hunting grounds. He will hunt among these hills for the next moon, so he has told me.
Rudyard Kipling
When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail, For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
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
One man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. ---The Thousandth Man
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too!
Rudyard Kipling
One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
Rudyard Kipling
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
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
Favouritism governed kissage, Even as it does in this age.
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
But till we are built like angels, with hammer and chisel and pen, we will work for ourself and a woman, forever and ever, Amen.
Rudyard Kipling
How can you do anything until you have seen everything,or as much as you can?
Rudyard Kipling
