  Society and Solitude,'Old  Age'.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kingsönor 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. Andöwhich is moreöyou'll be a Man, my son!

-Kipling, (Joseph) Rudyard

Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos Tempora si fuerint nubila, solus eris. So long as you are fortunate, you will count many
