And the end of the fight is tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, and the epitaph drear, A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.
Rudyard Kipling
Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.
Rudyard Kipling
Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard Kipling
Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
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
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
Rudyard Kipling
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling

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

Rudyard Kipling
If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.
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
Keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
Rudyard Kipling
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
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
Rudyard Kipling
Believe the best of everybody.
Rudyard Kipling
God gives all men all earth to love, but since man's heart is small, ordains for each one spot shall prove belov?d over all.
Rudyard Kipling
There's no jealousy in the grave.
Rudyard Kipling
All things considered, there are only two kinds of men in the world: those that stay at home and those that do not.
Rudyard Kipling
