...“If you can keep your head when all about you<br /> Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;<br /> If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br /> But make allowance for their doubting too;<br /> If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br /> Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,<br /> Or being hated don't give way to hating,<br /> And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;<br /><br /> If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;<br /> If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,<br /> If you can meet Triumph and Disaster<br /> And treat those two impostors just the same;<br /> If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken<br /> Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br /> Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,<br /> And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;<br /><br /> If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br /> And risk it on one turn of pitch - and - toss,<br /> And lose, and start again at your beginnings,<br /> And never breathe a word about your loss;<br /> If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br /> To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br /> And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br /> Except the Will which says to them; “Hold on!”<br /><br /> If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br /> Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,<br /> If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<br /> If all men count with you, but none too much;<br /> <br /> If you can fill the unforgiving minute<br /> With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,<br /> Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,<br /> And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!”<br /><br />Rudyard Kipling<br /> <br />Read the 101 Greatest Quotes of All Time<br /><br />http://www.carlhuttononline.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
