Quotable: Gwynne Dyer on the current financial crisis

“In times like these, it is fashionable for despairing brokers and bankers to quote Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’ — or rather, to misquote it: ‘IF you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you/You simply don’t understand how bad the situation is.'”

–Gwynne Dyer, from his syndicated column
