More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Believe the best of everybody.
Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
Rudyard Kipling
All good people agree, And all good people say, All nice people, like Us, are We And every one else is They: But if you cross over the sea, Instead of over the way, You may end by (think of it!) looking on We As only a sort of They!
Rudyard Kipling
Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent.
Rudyard Kipling
One learns more from a good scholar in a rage than from a score of lucid and laborious drudges.
Rudyard Kipling
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
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
There is no sin greater than ignorance.
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
I never made a mistake in my life at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards.
Rudyard Kipling
Funny how the new things are the old things.
Rudyard Kipling
There's no jealousy in the grave.
Rudyard Kipling
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
Rudyard Kipling
The masterless man . . . afflicted with the magic of the necessary words. . . . Words that may become alive and walk up and down in the hearts of the hearers.
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
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
San Francisco has only one drawback—‘tis hard to leave.
Rudyard Kipling
He who faces no calamity gains no courage.
Rudyard Kipling
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Rudyard Kipling
For it's guns this and guns that, and chuck 'em out, the brutes, But they're the Savior of our loved ones when the thugs begin to loot.
Rudyard Kipling
