More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
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
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Rudyard Kipling
One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
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
A tale from which pieces have been raked out is like a fire that has been poked. One does not know the operation has been performed, but everyone feels the effect.
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
Rudyard Kipling
She is intensely human, and lives to look upon life.
Rudyard Kipling
They are fools who kiss and tell'-- Wisely has the poet sung. Man may hold all sorts of posts If he'll only hold his tongue.
Rudyard Kipling
An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.
Rudyard Kipling
As the dawn comes up like thunder.
Rudyard Kipling
But remember please, the Law by which we live, we are not built to comprehend a lie, we can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die.
Rudyard Kipling
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
Rudyard Kipling
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half child.
Rudyard Kipling
Each dog barks in his own yard!
Rudyard Kipling
Well, if I am a man, a man I must become.
Rudyard Kipling
Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent.
Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race... and the hearts of the meanest were humbled.
Rudyard Kipling
Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew — (Twenty bridges or twenty two) — Wanted to know what the River knew, For they were young, and the Thames was old And this is the tale that River told.
Rudyard Kipling
