Who hath desired the Sea?—the sight of salt water unbounded—
The heave and the halt and the hurl and the crash of the comber wind-hounded?

Additional quotes by Rudyard Kipling

If any question why we died,
Tell them, because our fathers lied.

I keep six honest serving men (they taught me all i knew); Theirs names are What and Why and When And How And Where and Who.

Though our smoke may hide the Heavens from your eyes,
It will vanish and the stars will shine again,
Because, for all our power and weight and size,
We are nothing more than children of your brain!
