Being kissed by a man who didn't wax his moustache was-like eating an egg without salt.
Rudyard KiplingSavings represent much more than mere money value. They are the proof that the saver is worth something in himself. Any fool can waste; any fool can muddle; but it takes something more of a man to save and the more he saves the more of a man he makes of himself. Waste and extravagance unsettle a man's mind for every crisis; thrift, which means some form of self-restraint, steadies it.
Rudyard KiplingThis is a brief life, but in its brevity it offers us some splendid moments, some meaningful adventures.
Rudyard KiplingAll good people agree, And all good people say, All nice people, like Us, are We And every one else is They: But if you cross over the sea, Instead of over the way, You may end by (think of it!) looking on We As only a sort of They!
Rudyard Kipling
