Rudyard Kipling
Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent.

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 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
Gentleman-rankers out on the spree, damned from here to Eternity.
Rudyard Kipling
The heart of a man to the heart of a maid- Light of my tents, be fleet- Morning awaits at the end of the world, And the world is all at our feet.
Rudyard Kipling
