Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:
