Measured Speech and Ordered Action
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), "Et Dona Ferentes," lines 33-36:

Oh, my country, bless the training that from cot to castle runs —
The pitfall of the stranger but the bulwark of thy sons —
Measured speech and ordered action, sluggish soul and unperturbed,
Till we wake our Island-Devil — nowise cool for being curbed!
