There is too much Asia and she is too old. You cannot reform a lady of many lovers, and Asia has been insatiable in her flirtations aforetime. She will never attend Sunday-school or learn to vote save with swords for tickets.

Причард густо покраснел до корней коротких волос на шее, которая была толщиной в добрых семнадцать дюймов.
— Сотни, — сказал Пайкрофт.
— Вот и я тоже. А про скольких ты сохранил память в сердце, если не считать первую, и, допустим, последнюю, — и ещё одну?
— Таких мало, на удивление мало, самому совестно, — сказал сержант Причард с облегчением.
Редьярд Киплинг Цитаты о мужчинах
Let it be clearly understood that the Russian is a delightful person till he tucks in his shirt. As an Oriental he is charming. It is only when he insists upon being treated as the most easterly of western peoples instead of the most westerly of easterns that he becomes a racial anomaly extremely difficult to handle. The host never knows which side of his nature is going to turn up next.

Контексте: Looking back, I think he knew that in my innocence I was eager to love everything and please everybody, and he was trying to warn me not to lose my own identity in the process. Time after time he came back to this theme. " The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Контексте: When next he came to me he was drunk—royally drunk on many poets for the first time revealed to him. His pupils were dilated, his words tumbled over each other, and he wrapped himself in quotations—as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of emperors.
“There be triple ways to take, of the eagle or the snake,
Or the way of a man with a maid”

Контексте: There be triple ways to take, of the eagle or the snake,
Or the way of a man with a maid;
But the fairest way to me is a ship's upon the sea
In the heel of the North-East Trade.

Контексте: But remember, please, the Law by which we live,
We are not built to comprehend a lie,
We can neither love nor pity nor forgive,
If you make a slip in handling us you die!
We are greater than the Peoples or the Kings—
Be humble, as you crawl beneath our rods!—
Our touch can alter all created things,
We are everything on earth—except The Gods!
“I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.”
A Dead Statesman
Epitaphs of the War (1914-1918) (1918)
Контексте: I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
“If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch”
Stanza 4.
The Second Jungle Book (1895), If— (1896)
Контексте: If you can talk with crowds 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!
“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”

Контексте: As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.</p

Контексте: 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, though they come from the ends of the earth!
