Quotations - V


(Click image to enlarge)

Yet another timeless gem of a poem ("If", by Rudyard Kipling) of a father exhorting his son to aspire to, and become a living embodiment of all these essential virtues of "(hu)manhood"! The poem sketches out an extraordinary character of a resolutely stoic reserve; powered by an iron will, and an indomitable fortitude of spirit! Wikipedia has a note on Khushwant Singh hailing this poem as "the essence of the message of The Gita in English"!!
