If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue; If walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all mencount 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 (philosophical) (hu)Man my son!
J. R. Kipling , Rewards and Fairies - 1910 A.D.
