Rudyard Kipling

"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..."

Also,

"Asia is not going to be civilized after the methods of the West. There is too much Asia and she is too old!!"

And as a conclusion (only assuming there),

"A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke."

Merci Rudyard!
