[Chapter VIII.]
HASTINGS-SENLAC
“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
Yet make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about don’t deal in lies;
Or being hated not give way to hating,
And yet don’t seem too good or talk too wise.”
—Kipling.
