More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail, For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling
We are the opening verse of the opening page of the chapter of endless possibilities.
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
There's no jealousy in the grave.
Rudyard Kipling
She is intensely human, and lives to look upon life.
Rudyard Kipling
Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the world knew what truth was till some one had told a story.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
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
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
Well, if I am a man, a man I must become.
Rudyard Kipling
What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker?
Rudyard Kipling
They are fools who kiss and tell'-- Wisely has the poet sung. Man may hold all sorts of posts If he'll only hold his tongue.
Rudyard Kipling
Shere Khan, the Big One, has shifted his hunting grounds. He will hunt among these hills for the next moon, so he has told me.
Rudyard Kipling
If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose love would follow me still Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
Rudyard Kipling
The Three in One, the One in Three? Not so! To my own Gods I go. It may be they shall give me greater ease than your cold Christ and tangled Trinities.
Rudyard Kipling
I have no gift of words, but I speak the truth.
Rudyard Kipling
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn and here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin in tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.
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
There are nine-and-sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, And every single one of them is right.
Rudyard Kipling
If the aunt of the vicar has never touched liquor, watch out when she finds the Champagne.
Rudyard Kipling
