If England was what England seems, An not the England of our dreams, But only putty, brass, an' paint, 'Ow quick we'd chuck 'er! But she ain't!
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
If you give someone more than they can do, they will do it. If you give them only what they can do, they will do nothing.
Rudyard Kipling
Now India is a place beyond all others where one must not take things too seriously—the midday sun always excepted.
Rudyard Kipling
If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.
Rudyard Kipling
Gentleman-rankers out on the spree, damned from here to Eternity.
Rudyard Kipling
I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.
