If
Aujourd’hui j’ai reçu un gentil mail d’un ami de mon père. Je ne m’y attendais pas du tout, c’est très touchant.
En ouverture de son mot, il y avait cette citation de Kipling :
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.
But 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, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
And—wich is more — you w’ll be a MAN my son !
Rudyard Kipling
