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.
Rudyard KiplingIf a man brings a good mind to what he reads he may become, as it were, the spiritual descendant to some extent of great men, and this link, this spiritual hereditary tie, may help to just kick the beam in the right direction at a vital crisis; or may keep him from drifting through the long slack times when, so to speak, we are only fielding and no balls are coming our way.
Rudyard KiplingHowever the world pretends to divide itself, there are only two divisions in the world today - human beings and Germans.
Rudyard KiplingWhen the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace. They swore, if we gave Them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed They sold us, and delivered us, bound, to our foe, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
