More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Rudyard Kipling
When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter waters of hate, suspicion and despair, all the love in the world will not wholly take away that knowledge. Though it may turn darkened eyes for a while to the light, and teach faith where no faith was.
Rudyard Kipling
This is a brief life, but in its brevity it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.
Rudyard Kipling
Sing, for faith and hope are high- None so true as you and I- Sing the Lovers' Litany: Love like ours can never die!
Rudyard Kipling
Not getting what you want either means you don't want it enough, or you have been dealing too long with the price you have to pay.
Rudyard Kipling
And what should they know of England who only England know?
Rudyard Kipling
OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!
Rudyard Kipling
Follow the dream, and always the dream, and only the dream.
Rudyard Kipling
I have my own matches and sulphur, and I'll make my own hell.
Rudyard Kipling
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa-aa-aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah!
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
There's no jealousy in the grave.
Rudyard Kipling
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
Rudyard Kipling
Politicians. Little Tin Gods on Wheels.
Rudyard Kipling
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice - An humble and a contrite heart.
Rudyard Kipling
Four things greater than all things are Women and horses and power and War.
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
Everyone is more or less mad on one point.
Rudyard Kipling
I have no gift of words, but I speak the truth.
Rudyard Kipling
Literature is a splendid mistress, but a bad wife.
Rudyard Kipling
