A boy of to-day is affected by every change of tone and gust of opinion, so that he lies even when he desires to speak the truth.
Rudyard KiplingAs I pass through my incarnations in every age and race... and the hearts of the meanest were humbled.
Rudyard KiplingOne man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. ---The Thousandth Man
Rudyard KiplingNow this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back -- For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
Rudyard KiplingIf I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine!
