We have fed our sea for a thousand years

Though there's never a wave of all her waves
But marks our English dead.

Additional quotes by Rudyard Kipling

But he couldn't lie if you paid him and he'd starve before he stole.

I am, by calling, a dealer in words; and words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.

Go back to Earth with a lip unsealed—go back with an open eye,
And carry my word to the Sons of Men or ever ye come to die:
That the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one—
And the God that you took from a printed book be with you, Tomlinson!
