Rudyard Kipling
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
Rudyard Kipling
He wrapped himself in quotations - as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
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
Literature is a splendid mistress, but a bad wife.
Rudyard Kipling
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
Rudyard Kipling
