Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.
Rudyard Kipling
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made By singing 'Oh how wonderful' and sitting in the shade, While better men than we go out, and start their working lives By grubbing weeds from garden paths with broken dinner knives.
Rudyard Kipling
But till we are built like angels, with hammer and chisel and pen, we will work for ourself and a woman, forever and ever, Amen.
Rudyard Kipling
The Guns, Thank God, The Guns.
Rudyard Kipling
If you do not get what you want, it is a sure sign that you did not seriously want it.
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
Of all the trees that grow so fair Old England to adorn, Greater are none beneath the Sun Than Oak, and Ash and Thorn.
Rudyard Kipling
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling
Favouritism governed kissage, Even as it does in this age.

Rudyard Kipling
There are gems of wondrous brightness Ofttimes lying at our feet, And we pass them, walking thoughtless, Down the busy, crowded street. If we knew, our pace would slacken, We would step more oft with care, Lest our careless feet be treading To the earth some jewel rare.
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
San Francisco has only one drawback—‘tis hard to leave.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
Rudyard Kipling
A brave heart and a courteous tongue. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, Manling.
Rudyard Kipling
The python dropped his head lightly for a moment on Mowgli's shoulders. A brave heart and a courteous tongue, said he. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, manling. But now go hence quickly with thy friends. Go and sleep, for the moon sets and what follows it is not well that thou shouldst see.
Rudyard Kipling
Oh East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.
Rudyard Kipling
Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
Rudyard Kipling
