Additional quotes by Rudyard Kipling

Winds of the World, give answer! They are whimpering to and fro—
And what should they know of England who only England know?

We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.

No easy hope or lies
Shall bring us to our goal,
But iron sacrifice
Of body, will, and soul.
There is but one task for all—
One life for each to give.
What stands if Freedom fall?
Who dies if England live?

I never made a mistake in my life; at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards. - Rudyard Kipling
