Rudyard Kipling
Everyone is more or less mad on one point.
Rudyard Kipling
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior.

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
Not getting what you want either means you don't want it enough, or you have been dealing too long with the price you have to pay.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
