Rudyard Kipling
- If (...only)
If you can keep your head while 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. If this and that and all sorts of other useful things - then your's is the earth and everything in it. Etc. Oops to all of they - bar lying.
