Additional quotes by Rudyard Kipling

If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
