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

As the dawn comes up like thunder.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
There's a Legion that never was 'listed, That carries no colours or crest, But, split in a thousand detachments, Is breaking the road for the rest.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
Rudyard Kipling

We be of one blood, ye and I
Rudyard Kipling
Image
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
Image
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.

Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
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

How can you do anything until you have seen everything,or as much as you can?
Rudyard Kipling

If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.

Image
I am by nature a dealer in words, and words are the most powerful drug known to humanity.
Rudyard Kipling
Image
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.
Rudyard Kipling

Daughter am I in my mother's house, but mistress in my own.

Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
