\nIf you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0But make allowance for their doubting too;<\/span>
\nIf you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0Or, being lied about, don\u2019t deal in lies,<\/span>
\nOr, being hated, don\u2019t give way to hating,<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0And yet don\u2019t look too good, nor talk too wise;<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can dream\u2014and not make dreams your master;<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0If you can think\u2014and not make thoughts your aim;<\/span>
\nIf you can meet with triumph and disaster<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0And treat those two impostors just the same;<\/span>
\nIf you can bear to hear the truth you\u2019ve spoken<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<\/span>
\nOr watch the things you gave your life to broken,<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0And stoop and build \u2019em up with wornout tools;<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can make one heap of all your winnings<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<\/span>
\nAnd lose, and start again at your beginnings<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0And never breathe a word about your loss;<\/span>
\nIf you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0To serve your turn long after they are gone,<\/span>
\nAnd so hold on when there is nothing in you<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0Except the Will which says to them: \u201cHold on\u201d;<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0Or walk with kings\u2014nor lose the common touch;<\/span>
\nIf neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0If all men count with you, but none too much;<\/span>
\nIf you can fill the unforgiving minute<\/span>
\nWith sixty seconds\u2019 worth of distance run\u2014<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0Yours is the Earth and everything that\u2019s in it,<\/span>
\nAnd\u2014which is more\u2014you\u2019ll be a Man, my son!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
