This is the last line of the inspirational poem Ifby Rudyard Kippling. It was first published in 1909 in his colection Rewards and fairies. The poem sets out rules for living in the 'grown-up' world and as such is a blueprint for personal development, integrity and behaviour.
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 worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath 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 (1865-1936)

Jessie Cameron is a poem about the story of a girl who is propositioned by a young man but rejects him. The young man is the son of a "witch" and referred to as being of gypsy descent. Jessie is an outspoken girl, and turns this man down even after he tells her of his undying love for her on the basis that "he may be right for others" but not for her. The poem ends tragically- both Jessie and her lover disappear into the sea and cries are heard as echoes forever more. Nobody knows whether the young man threw his life away or whether he lost it... hints at his sorcerous background.
