More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half child.
Rudyard Kipling
Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling
When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew!
Rudyard Kipling
Politicians. Little Tin Gods on Wheels.
Rudyard Kipling
She is intensely human, and lives to look upon life.
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
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
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
We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
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
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling
We are the opening verse of the opening page of the chapter of endless possibilities.
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
One half of my head, from the top of my skull to the cleft of my jaw, hammers, bangs, sizzles while the other half, serene and content, looks on at the agony next door.
Rudyard Kipling
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice - An humble and a contrite heart.
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
Body and spirit I surrendered whole To harsh instructors and received a soul... If mortal man could change me through and through From all I was What may the God not do?
Rudyard Kipling
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
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
The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky The deer to the wholesome wold And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid, As it was in the days of old.
Rudyard Kipling
