[julesapple]

That happy child again.

[julesapple]

That was a bit of a marathon. I'd better go start supper.

Rudyard Kipling

[julesapple]

[julesapple]

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

[julesapple]

But make allowance for their doubting too;

[julesapple]

[julesapple]

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

[julesapple]

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
