Rudyard Kipling
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half child.
Rudyard Kipling
Politicians. Little Tin Gods on Wheels.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling
Everyone is more or less mad on one point.
Rudyard Kipling
Tis beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just IT. Some women will stay in a man's memory if they once walked down a street.
Rudyard Kipling
Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears, and so preparing the way for you later on. Sisters are women first, and sisters afterwards and you will find that you do yourself harm.
Rudyard Kipling
You must learn to forgive a man when he's in love. He's always a nuisance.
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
All sensible men are of the same religion, but no sensible man ever tells.
Rudyard Kipling
Asia is not going to be civilized after the methods of the West. There is too much Asia and she is too old.
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
Though our smoke may hide the Heavens from your eyes, It will vanish and the stars will shine again, Because, for all our power and weight and size, We are nothing more than children of your brain!
Rudyard Kipling
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
Rudyard Kipling
When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always.'
Rudyard Kipling
Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.
Rudyard Kipling
I keep six honest serving men (they taught me all i knew) Theirs names are What and Why and When And How And Where and Who.
Rudyard Kipling
For it's guns this and guns that, and chuck 'em out, the brutes, But they're the Savior of our loved ones when the thugs begin to loot.
Rudyard Kipling
