Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too!
Rudyard Kipling

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
When a crew and a captain understand each other to the core, it takes a gale, and more than a gale, to put their ship ashore.
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
Good Lord! who can account for the fathomless folly of the public?
Rudyard Kipling
Ship me somewhere east of Suez, where the best is like the worst, Where there aren't no Ten Commandments an' a man can raisea thirst.
Rudyard Kipling
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Rudyard Kipling
When man has come to the Turnstiles of Night, all the creeds in the world seem to him wonderfully alike and colorless.
Rudyard Kipling
Like the destroyer, the submarine has created its own type of officer and man with language and traditions apart from the rest of the service, and yet at the heart unchangingly of the Service
Rudyard Kipling
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
If the aunt of the vicar has never touched liquor, watch out when she finds the Champagne.
Rudyard Kipling
