Quote

We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa-aa-aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah!

All gods have good points, just as have all priests. Personally, I attach much importance to Hanuman , and am kind to his people the great gray apes of the hills. One never knows when one may want a friend.
Rudyard Kipling

No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be. Not all the books on all the shelves - but what the teachers are themselves.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I have no gift of words, but I speak the truth.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
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.

As the dawn comes up like thunder.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
Never was isle so little, never was sea so lone, But over the scud and the palm-trees an English flag was flown.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
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
Image
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I have my own matches and sulphur, and I'll make my own hell.
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I keep six honest serving men.

One learns more from a good scholar in a rage than from a score of lucid and laborious drudges.

There is no sin greater than ignorance.
Rudyard Kipling

If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.
