"If"
poem by Rudyard Kipling which includes the following verse:
"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch.
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!"
