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

Although I was familiar with this poem before Blagoevich used it in his scandal-defense speeches, I can't hear it without thinking that now!

OMG I didn't know he used it. I'll try to forget that.
