A line from that poem.
We were all expected to memorise the whole poem and recite it on demand.

So many great lines used all over the world.
There is an inscription above the entry to Wimbledon Centre Court which reads:-
"If you can meet with triumph and disaster / And treat those two imposters just the same"

From that poem

I can honestly put hand on heart and say I've followed the advice in that poem always.
