Rudyard Kipling
There is no sin so great as ignorance. Remember this.
Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
One man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. ---The Thousandth Man
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
Let all who build beware The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So, when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss, or murder, Is laid upon the man. Not on the Stuff - the Man!
Rudyard Kipling
I have seen something of this world, she said over the trays, and there are but two sorts of women in it-- those who take the strength out of a man, and those who put it back. Once I was that one, and now I am this.
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
Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
Rudyard Kipling
The masterless man . . . afflicted with the magic of the necessary words. . . . Words that may become alive and walk up and down in the hearts of the hearers.
Rudyard Kipling
Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie.
Rudyard Kipling
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
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
If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.
Rudyard Kipling
San Francisco has only one drawback—‘tis hard to leave.
Rudyard Kipling
Politicians. Little Tin Gods on Wheels.
Rudyard Kipling
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
Rudyard Kipling
Favouritism governed kissage, Even as it does in this age.
Rudyard Kipling
The Guns, Thank God, The Guns.
