If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs




And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:





If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,

If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;


Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:



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 you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,




Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!




--Rudyard Kipling
Thanks to Humu and Bargoyle for the pics I "borrowed". I borrowed a few more but I forgot where I got them. PM me and I'll give you credit.
