If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; And so hold on when there is nothing in you If you can meet with triumph and disaster Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, If all men count with you, but none too much; And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can fill the unforgiving minute
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!"

Your thought must become more rigorous; otherwise you won't be able to be sufficiently skeptical. 64. Abandon your ego to its fate. 65. Be a shit disturber--and don't stop when the shit talks back. 66. Be more tolerant of fools and less tolerant of knaves. 67. Defend your position or admit that you don't know. 68. Do not decide when to laugh. Laughter is a natural impulse; don't interfere with it. Only unfunny jokes are offensive. 69. Do not hoard good will. 70. Don't be in a hurry to "understand" other people's experiences. 71. Don't get involved in a fight unless you're willing to take the trouble to ascertain who's right and wrong. 72. Don't be lazy in classifying files or objects. Make your "miscellaneous" category as small
88 Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest; but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery. Where's your father? OPHELIA At home, my lord. HAMLET Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in's own house. Farewell. OPHELIA O, help him, you sweet heavens! HAMLET If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go: farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs
