Came across another "saying," or line that have heard many times and didn't know the rest of it and -- guess the author?! -- Rudyard Kipling, again!
(Seems like everything I remember this week comes from that guy...!
-----------
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 Ballad of East and West, by Rudyard Kipling.]
--------------------Those lines begin the "ballad" -- and end it, too.
The only part I remembered was that first line -- heard it somewhere, and somewhere else -- some people apply it, like a common saying, to various situations...
