Rudyard Kipling Quotes About Earth

Quotes about: Earth

• If you can wait, and not be tired by waiting ... if you can dream, and not make dreams your master; if you can think, and not make thoughts your aim; if you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same; ... yours is the earth and everything that's in it...

  Rudyard Kipling

  Dream, Tired, Thinking

  "If - " st. 2 (1910)

• If you can walk with the crowd and keep your virtue,
  Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch;
  If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
  If all men count with you, but none too much;
  If you can fill the unforgiving minute
  With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
  Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
  And - which is more - you'll be a man my son!

  Rudyard Kipling

  Life, Running, Hurt

• When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew!

• Our hearts where they rocked our cradle, Our love where we spent our toil, And our faith, and our hope, and our honor, We pledge to our native soil. God gave all men all earth to love, But since our hearts are small, Ordained for each one spot should prove Beloved over all.

• OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!

  The Five Nations (1903) "Sussex"

• There are gems of wondrous brightness
  Ofttimes lying at our feet,
  And we pass them, walking thoughtless,
  Down the busy, crowded street.
  If we knew, our pace would slacken,
  We would step more oft with care,
  Lest our careless feet be treading
  To the earth some jewel rare.

  Rudyard Kipling
