Rudyard Kipling Quotes
“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”
-- Rudyard Kipling
“Now 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 Kipling
“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition”
-- Rudyard Kipling

Written originally for his own children, Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories have continued to delight generations of youngsters since they were rst published in 1902. The thirteen stories col- lected in this book are meant for very young children, but they en- gage older kids and adults too with their charming conversational style and simple plot lines.
These stories are typical examples of the “origin” story, where children are provided with imaginative rather than practical ex- planations for the “why” “what” “how” “where” “who” “when” questions of childhood.
