Poet and storyteller; his poem ‘If—’ (1910) is among the best-known verses on steadiness and character.
If you can keep your head when 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 fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same.
