More quotes by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling
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
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'
Rudyard Kipling
San Francisco has only one drawback—‘tis hard to leave.
Rudyard Kipling
Good Lord! who can account for the fathomless folly of the public?

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget!
Rudyard Kipling
