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. <br class="br"> «The Man Who Was». http://kipling.thefreelibrary.com/Man-Who-Was

— Скольких женщин по всему свету ты знавал близко, Прич?
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.

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. <br class="br"> «The Man Who Was». http://kipling.thefreelibrary.com/Man-Who-Was

Контексте: If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.

Контексте: When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,
Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, “It's pretty, but is it Art?”
