Rudyard Kipling
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie.
Rudyard Kipling
Good Lord! who can account for the fathomless folly of the public?
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
