Teach, Learn, Share

Take up the White Man's Burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To see another's profit
And Work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease.
~Rudyard Kipling, 1899
