More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
Rudyard Kipling
Good Lord! who can account for the fathomless folly of the public?
Rudyard Kipling
A thin grey fog hung over the city, and the streets were very cold for summer was in England.
Rudyard Kipling
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
Rudyard Kipling
Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
Rudyard Kipling
I have seen something of this world, she said over the trays, and there are but two sorts of women in it-- those who take the strength out of a man, and those who put it back. Once I was that one, and now I am this.
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
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
Rudyard Kipling
He wrapped himself in quotations - as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
All the money in the world is no use to a man or his country if he spends it as fast as he makes it. All he has left is his bills and the reputation for being a fool.
Rudyard Kipling
He who faces no calamity gains no courage.
Rudyard Kipling
And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden, You will find yourself a partner in the Glory of the Garden.
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
One cannot resist the lure of Africa.
Rudyard Kipling
Youth had been a habit of hers for so long that she could not part with it.
Rudyard Kipling
God gives all men all earth to love, but since man's heart is small, ordains for each one spot shall prove belov?d over all.
Rudyard Kipling
The jungle speaks to me because I know how to listen.
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
