    If-

    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;

    If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    or watch the things you gave your life to broken and stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    and lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone,
    and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them "Hold on";

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings--nor 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,
    And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

    Rudyard Kipling

    “From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.”

    ― Abraham Lincoln

    “It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

    The phrase "knowledge is power" is often attributed to Francis Bacon, from his Meditationes Sacrae (1597).

    My dad used to say that "There were two kinds of people in this world. Those who like bacon and those who just ain't right."

    The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

    John F. Kennedy

    Or

    The price of freedom is high, it always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it.
