if he can keep his reasoning when people
around him cannot; if he can be confident
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
when others do not trust him; if he can
endure and be tough; if he can handle being
    But make allowance for their doubting too;    lied about but be sincere to himself, and

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