If you just typed in 'If Rudyard Kipling framed uk' into your search engine you'd be disappointed with the results.
You see no matter how smart the algorithm is it still won't be able to pick the most breathtaking visualisation and elegant type arrangement of Rudyard Kipling's epoch defining poem IF.
After all there's a reason why the 'A' stands for 'Artificial' in Artificial Intelligence. When it comes to matters of beauty the machines still have a lot to learn.
Instead of a superb selection of posters you will be shown row after row of dismally designed posters hurriedly mashed together by the many hoping to make a quick buck from the poem's continuing inspiration and collectibility.
Don't take my word for it though, here have a look for yourself.
Here's what came up when I searched for it.

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

INSPIRATIONAL POEMS IN ENGLISH
INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

“HOPE” is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
IF by Rudyard Joseph Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

DESIDERATA by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR by Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

THE BRAIN IS WIDER THAN THE SKY by Emily Dickinson
The Brain is Wider Than The Sky (image from yale.edu)
THE GUY IN THE GLASS by Dale Wimbrow
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

INSPIRATIONAL POEMS ABOUT LIFE
OUR DEEPEST FEAR by Marianne Williamson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

THE MAN IN THE ARENA by Theodore Roosevelt
(Though technically not a poem, from his Citizenship in a Republic speech)
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
-
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
-
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
-
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

DREAMS by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
IT COULDN'T BE DONE by Edgar Albert Guest
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
-
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
-
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
HELP YOURSELF TO HAPPINESS by Helen Steiner Rice
Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true, But finding it and keeping it seem difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found Only in the places where wealth and fame abound. And so we go on searching in palaces of pleasure Seeking recognition and monetary treasure, Unaware that happiness is just a state of mind Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind. For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away returns to shine on you.
THE GUEST HOUSE by Jalaluddin Rumi
Translated by Coleman Barks
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
UNION by Robert Fulghum
(One of the world's most popular wedding recitals. Though technically not a poem, even though it is often called one.)
"You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way. All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks - all those sentences that began with "When we're married" and continued with "I will and you will and we will" - those late night talks that included "someday" and "somehow" and "maybe" - and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, "You know all those things we've promised and hoped and dreamed—well, I meant it all, every word." Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another - acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, and even teacher, for you have learned much from one another in these last few years. Now you shall say a few words that take you across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between you. For after these vows, you shall say to the world, this - is my husband, this - is my wife."

IMMORTALITY by Clare Harner
(Penned after the sudden death of her brother, Harner's poem gained traction as an inspiring eulogy read at funerals even today.)
Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep— I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry— I am not there, I did not die.
INSPIRATIONAL POEMS FOR WOMEN
STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
MUSHROOMS by Sylvia Plath
Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly
Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make room.
Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding,
Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless,
Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. We
Diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking
Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us!
We are shelves, we are Tables, we are meek, We are edible,
Nudgers and shovers In spite of ourselves. Our kind multiplies:
We shall by morning Inherit the earth. Our foot's in the door.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN by Walt Whitman
Women sit, or move to and fro- some old, some young; The young are beautiful-
but the old are more beautiful than the young.

THE POWER OF ONE by Ashish Ram
One song can spark a moment One flower can wake the dream One tree can start a forest One bird can herald spring One smile begins a friendship One handclasp lifts a soul One star can guide a ship at sea One word can frame the goal One vote can change a nation One sunbeam lights a room One candle wipes out darkness One laugh will conquer gloom One step must start each journey One word must start each prayer One hope will raise our spirits One touch can show you care One voice can speak with wisdom One heart can know what’s true One life can make the difference
You see, it’s up to you!!
If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will. It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed,you are. You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win the prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later,the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can .
INFLUENCE by Joseph Norris
Drop a pebble in the water, And its ripples reach out far; And the sunbeams dancing on them May reflect them to a star.
Give a smile to someone passing, Thereby making his morning glad; It may greet you in the evening When your own heart may be sad.
Do a deed of simple kindness; Though its end you may not see, It may reach, like widening ripples, Down eternity.

“HOPE” IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS By Emily Dickinson
“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.
THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS by Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Think Different - what it means and why it mattered for Apple
“Think Different” is a famous tag line and ad campaign coined by Apple's ad agency TBWA / Chiat Day in 1997 during Steve Jobs’ return to the company. It captures a powerful philosophy that celebrates creativity, innovation, and challenging the status quo.
What it means:
Embrace originality: Don’t just follow the crowd; question norms and approach problems with fresh, unique ideas.
Celebrate misfits and rebels: It honors those who see the world in unconventional ways—artists, inventors, pioneers who change the course of history.
Inspire innovation: Encourages pushing boundaries to create products and ideas that truly stand out and make a difference.
Empower individuality: Believes each person has the power to impact the world by thinking differently.
Why it mattered for Apple:
It was a rallying cry for the company’s culture and brand, positioning Apple as a beacon for creativity and revolutionary thinking.
Helped revive Apple’s image after years of struggle by aligning with visionaries like Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., and other “crazy ones” who dared to dream.
In essence, “Think Different” is a call to break free from conventional thinking and be bold in inventing a better future.
Think Different - Summary of Apple's 1997 advertising campaign
The "Think Different" ad campaign was one of Apple Inc.'s most famous and influential marketing campaigns. It was launched in 1997, shortly after Steve Jobs returned to Apple as CEO. The campaign aimed to reposition Apple as an innovative and groundbreaking brand, highlighting its unique approach to technology and design.
The central theme of the "Think Different" campaign was celebrating the non-conformists, the rebels, the misfits, and the creative geniuses who dared to challenge the status quo and make a significant impact on the world. The campaign featured a black-and-white television commercial, print advertisements, posters and billboards, showcasing some of history's most influential minds from wide-ranging fields.
Photographs of luminaries such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Pablo Picasso, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, Amelia Earhart, and many others.
The campaign was a departure from traditional technology advertising, which often focused on product specifications and features. Instead, Apple aimed to create an emotional connection with its audience by associating its brand with the values of innovation, individuality, and breaking barriers.
The "Think Different" campaign was highly successful in reinvigorating Apple's brand and helping to reshape its public image. It effectively positioned Apple as a company that championed the misfits and visionaries, appealing to creative professionals and those who identified with the campaign's message.
The campaign played a significant role in Apple's resurgence and set the stage for its future successes with groundbreaking products like the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
Even though the "Think Different" campaign officially concluded in 2002, it left a lasting impact on Apple's brand identity. The campaign's message and spirit continue to resonate with Apple's overall marketing strategy, which emphasises a fluid fusion of technology, design, and innovation.
The "Think Different" ethos remains an integral part of Apple's culture and the way the company positions itself in the market today.
While Steve Jobs was deeply involved in the development and execution of the "Think Different" campaign, he did not come up with the idea.
The concept for the campaign was created by the advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day, specifically by a junior art director named Craig Tanimoto, supported by a creative team, led by Chief Creative Officer Lee Clow, and Craig's partner - copywriter Rob Siltanen.
However, Steve Jobs was deeply involved in shaping the campaign and infusing it with his vision and philosophy. When he returned to Apple as CEO in 1997, he recognized the need for a powerful marketing campaign to reposition the company and reestablish its brand identity.
Jobs worked closely with the TBWA Chiat\Day team to refine the concept, select the iconic individuals featured in the ads, and nuancing the campaign's overall messaging.

What did Steve Jobs mean by 'Think Different'?
When Steve Jobs said "Think Different," he was encouraging people to challenge conventional thinking, embrace creativity, and celebrate innovation by seeing the world through a unique, independent perspective. This slogan was used to reposition Apple as a brand for innovators, dreamers, and non-conformists—those willing to see things differently and push boundaries.
The meaning was most powerfully captured in the famous “Crazy Ones” commercial, which said:
"Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently—they’re not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo... Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do".
Jobs believed Apple was not just selling computers or gadgets, but was advocating for a philosophy: value originality, question the status quo, and make a meaningful difference. By associating Apple with icons like Einstein, Gandhi, and Picasso, the campaign emphasized that real progress comes from those who dare to be different.
The message behind "Think Different" endures as a call to creativity, visionary thinking, and courage to challenge the norm—qualities Jobs saw as central to Apple’s identity and essential for driving genuine innovation.
Think Different tagline - who came up with it and the campaign idea?
Art Director Craig Tanimoto came up with the campaign tagline, concept, look, as well as the idea to make a commercial. However most of the TV script was written by copywriter Rob Siltanen.
There's an excellent interview of Craig Tanimoto describing the process at https://smartup.life/think-different/
And another well written and detailed 'behind the scenes' post by Rob Siltanen at https://www.forbes.com/sites/onmarketing/2011/12/14/the-real-story-behind-apples-think-different-campaign

Where is Apple's Here's to the Crazy One's creator Rob Siltanen today?
Rob has been busy running his own successful agency called Siltanen & Partners.
From their website - https://www.siltanen.com/about
In 1999, Rob opened Siltanen & Partners, secure in his conviction that an independently-owned, creatively-led shop could produce outstanding marketing results for businesses of every type...
Image from Rob Siltanen's advertising agency website www.siltanen.com
Why did Apple say Think Different?
Apple chose "Think Different" instead of the grammatically correct "Think Differently" for a few key reasons we conjecture:
Impact and Memorability: The phrase "Think Different" is shorter, more direct, and easier to remember. It's punchy and stands out more than "Think Differently," which sounds more ordinary.
Brand Identity: Apple wanted to communicate that it was a company that didn’t follow the rules, even in language. By deliberately using "Think Different," Apple was reinforcing its identity as a company that challenges conventions and does things its own way.
Philosophical Message: "Think Different" isn’t just about thinking in a different manner; it’s about being fundamentally different in thought. The phrase suggests a deeper, more intrinsic difference in perspective and approach, which aligns with Apple's innovative and groundbreaking ethos.
Artistic License: In advertising and branding, companies often take liberties with language to create a stronger brand identity or emotional response. The slightly unconventional grammar contributed to the campaign's unique and rebellious tone, which resonated with Apple’s target audience.
In essence, "Think Different" was a bold, creative choice that aligned perfectly with Apple's brand message.
Here's to the crazy one's - watch the TV commercial
You can watch the original 1997 TV commercial with the voice over by Richard Dreyfusshere
You can watch a version with Steve Jobs doing the voice over, which was never airedhere
What is the full quote of Here's to the Crazy Ones / Here's to the misfits?
(the words ran as full page press ads and were the script of the tv commercial)
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can’t do, is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

1 Introduction to our IF Rudyard Kipling poster prints
Welcome to our post featuring some of our meticulously crafted inspirational typographic art prints of Rudyard Kipling's iconic poem IF.
Written as a father's advice to his son, about the character traits it takes, to make a man, the best version of himself he can ever be.
2 What inspired Kipling to pen the poem IF?
Though you might not know it, Bombay born Nobel Laureate Kipling was inspired to write IF (for his son John) after the swashbuckling adventures of his friend Leander Starr Jameson who infamously led a failed raid during the Boer War against the Dutch.
3 Who creates our Rudyard Kipling IF designs?

6 OUR BEST-SELLING IF RUDYARD KIPLING POSTER DESIGNS USING ILLUSTRATION, CALLIGRAPHY, TYPOGRAPHY, AND CUSTOM LETTERING
Image: Typography, illustration & lettering artwork of Rudyard Kipling's 'IF'. This work makes clever use of the letter 'i' in the poem's title and plants a pensive man in place of the letter.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Image: A typographic and illustrated artwork of the poem IF, by journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist Rudyard Kipling. This rendition invites the viewer to imagine himself to be the outlined man in the illustration.
Image: Custom lettering & typography printof two of the most famous lines from the IF poem, by Rudyard Kipling. This design uses two different sets of custom lettered fonts to best convey each sentences 'voice' through the selection of type.

INVICTUS - a poem by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
INVICTUS MEANING - what is the meaning of the word and the poem?
Invictus is a Latin word meaning “unconquered” or “undefeated.” The poem by William Ernest Henley takes its title from this definition, embodying the idea of facing adversity with unwavering resilience and inner strength.
Written while Henley was recovering from severe illness and the amputation of his leg, the poem declares the speaker's refusal to be broken by suffering or circumstance.
Through expressions of perseverance and defiance, “Invictus” asserts that individuals are the masters of their fate, capable of overcoming even the darkest and most difficult times through courage and self-determination
INVICTUS - what is the poem about?
In 'Invictus,' resilience and inner strength take centre stage. Henley's depiction of a spirit unyielding in the face of life's trials and tribulations strikes a chord with readers. He uses powerful imagery to effectively drive home the point.
The poem emanates from Henley's personal journey of recuperation following the amputation of his left leg in an Edinburgh hospital during an era when hospital stays were perilous, often tantamount to a death sentence.
WHAT IS THE MOST FAMOUS LINE FROM THE POEM INVICTUS?
The most repeated line from the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley is:
"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
This resonant end line powerfully expresses the poem's central message of self-determination and resilience.
Not surprisingly then, is that it is a much sought after quote for those getting a tattoo.

WHY DID HENLEY TITLE HIS POEM 'INVICTUS'?
While we've all assumed, naturally, that Henley picked the title for his poem, it appears to be a mistaken conclusion. When I Googled the query, I was surprised by what I discovered on a Quora answer by Kyle Smith-Laird.
"Curiously enough, the poet William Ernest Henley did not call his poem Invictus. It was added later by an editor, Arthur Quiller-Couch."
Though we need to confirm this fact from a few more sources.
Screenshot of Quora link answering 'Why did Henley title his poem Invictus?'
HOW HAS THIS FAMOUS END LINE INFLUENCED MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES AND CULTURAL REFERENCES?
“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul” from “Invictus” has become a cornerstone of motivational speeches and cultural references, symbolising self-empowerment, resilience, and personal responsibility.
This line is often invoked to inspire individuals to take control of their lives, no matter the circumstances, reinforcing the belief that one’s destiny is shaped by one’s own choices and attitude.
Its influence extends beyond literature—it appears in political rhetoric, sports motivation, and personal development seminars, encouraging people to adopt a mindset of autonomy and inner strength.
The phrase’s brevity and clarity make it memorable and useful as a rallying cry or mantra for overcoming adversity, and it continues to resonate across generations, workplaces, and movements as an emblem of determination and courage
WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY - who was he?
William Ernest Henley (23 August 1849 – 11 July 1903) was an English poet, critic, writer, and editor, best known for his poem "Invictus". Born in Gloucester, England, Henley suffered from tubercular arthritis as a child, which led to the amputation of one of his legs; his resilience and struggle through illness deeply influenced his poetry, often centering on themes of strength and perseverance.
Henley attended Crypt Grammar School, where he was mentored by poet T.E. Brown.During a long hospital stay in Edinburgh (1873–1875), he wrote many poems reflecting his experiences, some of which appeared in his influential collectionA Book of Verses(1888).
Besides his own poetry, Henley made a significant mark as an editor and critic, helping to publish the early works of notable writers such as Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, and H.G. Wells.He was an integral figure in London’s literary circles and was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson, who partly based the character Long John Silver fromTreasure Islandon Henley.
Henley’s writing is remembered for its invincible spirit, especially the closing lines of “Invictus”: "I am the master of my fate; / I am the captain of my soul."
William Ernest Henley etching print from the Mary Evans Picture Library:
I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE, I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL - what does this sentence mean?
It eloquently conveys that it is up to me to determine what my future will hold. I must take full responsibility for my actions, by steering my own 'ship' towards my ultimate destination.

INVICTUS POEM & NELSON MANDELA - why was it his favourite poem?
The poem and especially the lines "Beyond this place of wrath and tears, looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years, finds and shall find me unafraid" were a source of strength during Nelson Mandela's 27 years in Robben Island prison.
He would recite the poem everyday and had the poem tacked to his bare prison wall.

INVICTUS MOVIE - what is it about?
Clint Eastwood's film, "INVICTUS," narrates the poignant and true tale of how President Nelson Mandela (portrayed by Morgan Freeman) collaborates with Francois Pienaar (played by Matt Damon), the captain of South Africa's rugby team.
Together, they use the power of sport to foster unity and surmount economic and racial divisions lingering from apartheid.
Mandela entrusts Pienaar with the task of guiding his team to greatness, merging their personal aspirations—Mandela's vision to unify the nation and Pienaar's ambition to lead the team to World Cup victory—under the banner of "One team, one country."
Mandela draws inspiration from a poem that sustained him during his imprisonment, later revealed to be William Ernest Henley's "Invictus."
INVICTUS POEM AS A SONG - has anyone done a great rendition?
Yes there have been several versions over the years, including Nelson Mandela's favourite poem set to music by opera star Pumeza Matshikiza. But this soul stirring rendition by Elika Mahoneyhere, remains our favourite.

WHAT IS INSPIRATIONAL WALL ART?
Inspirational wall art typically consists of decorative pieces, such as posters, canvases, prints, or decals, that feature motivational quotes, uplifting messages, or positive affirmations.
These artworks are designed to inspire, encourage, and create a positive atmosphere in various spaces, such as homes, offices, classrooms, or public areas.
They often incorporate attractive designs, typography, and imagery that complement the message, making them both visually appealing and emotionally impactful.
WHY IS INSPIRATIONAL WALL ART BETTER THAN ORDINARY WALL ART?
Inspirational wall art can be considered better than ordinary wall art for several reasons, though this is often subjective and depends on individual preferences and needs:
Motivation and Positivity: Inspirational wall art provides daily motivation and encourages a positive mindset. Seeing uplifting quotes and affirmations can help boost mood and morale.
Personal Growth: These artworks can serve as constant reminders of personal goals and values, helping individuals stay focused and driven in their personal and professional lives.
Atmosphere Enhancement: Inspirational art can create a more uplifting and encouraging atmosphere in a room, which can be especially beneficial in spaces like offices, classrooms, or living areas.
Conversation Starters: Inspirational quotes and messages can spark interesting and meaningful conversations among friends, family, or colleagues, fostering a more engaging environment.

Versatility: Inspirational wall art comes in various styles and designs, making it easy to find pieces that match the decor of any room while still delivering positive messages.
Affordability: Our inspirational wall art prints are considerably cheaper than original wall art, especially when you compare larger sizes.
Longevity: Our inspirational wall art canvas printsuse expensive original archival grade inks that are fade- resistant, and treated with an extra protection layer, ensuring they will be enjoyed for generations.
On the other hand, ordinary wall art, such as landscapes, abstracts, or portraits, may be chosen for aesthetic appeal, artistic appreciation, or personal taste, which are equally valid reasons for selection.
Ultimately, the "better" option depends on what one values more—whether it's the visual aesthetics or the added layer of inspiration and motivation.

One of our favourite inspirational poems, Desiderata, as a collection of typographic and lettering posters from around the web and our site ( available on paper, canvas, stretcher framed).
Shipped worldwide from our workshops in Asia & America.
Surprisingly, "Desiderata" (Latin for "desired things") by American lawyer turned writer Max Ehrmann was largely unknown in the author's lifetime, the text only going 'viral' years after his death.
You can read how Desiderata finally became famous, amongst other bits of trivia here.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Perfect for when you could use some help to invigorate yourself forward.
WHAT IS A MOTIVATIONAL POSTER AND HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
A motivational poster is a captivating combination of visual artistry and succinct prose, often adorned with inspiring images or typography.
It serves as a catalyst for motivation, a powerful reminder to persevere, dream big, and embrace life's challenges with unwavering resolve. In essence, a silent yet potent mentor, urging us to manifest our aspirations into reality.
ARE MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS EFFECTIVE?
Research confirms that exposure to positive visual cues induces feelings of positivity. Implying that immersing oneself in uplifting imagery and affirming messages can boost performance across several spheres, including learning, memory retention, and decision-making.
Essentially, motivational posters have been found to heighten productivity effectively.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT MOTIVATIONAL POSTER?
Inspiring Visuals: The image on the poster should be visually captivating and emotionally stirring. It should evoke positive emotions, whether through natural beauty, personal achievement, or symbolic representation.
Simple and Clear Design: Clarity is essential. The message and image should be easy to understand at a glance, avoiding clutter or confusion.
Impactful Words: The text on the poster should contain a concise and powerful message that resonates with the viewer. It should be uplifting, encouraging, and memorable.
Relevance: The poster's message should be relevant to the audience and context in which it's displayed, whether in a workplace, gym, or personal space.
Quality Printing: High-quality printing and materials ensure that the poster maintains its visual appeal over time.
Positive Emotion: Great motivational posters should invoke positive emotions, such as hope, determination, and confidence, motivating individuals to take action and pursue their goals.
Timelessness: A timeless message can continue to inspire over the years, making the poster a lasting source of motivation.
Personal Connection: The poster should resonate with the viewer on a personal level, making them feel a deep connection to the message and imagery.
Balance: The design should strike a balance between being aesthetically pleasing and conveying a meaningful message. Neither should overshadow the other.
Versatility: A great motivational poster should be adaptable to various settings and audiences, providing motivation to a wide range of people.
Robust canvas prints, using fade-resistant ink, and a protective film layer, can last up to 150 years and more, with proper care.
Unlike paper, canvas is also less susceptible to yellowing, fading, creasing, and damage. Without needing expensive, heavy glass frames for protection. Plus they're also available stretcher framed, ready to hang on your wall.
Of course our paper posters printed on high quality, thick grammed paper also last a long time, but they're just not as sturdy as canvas.

So how did we go about curating this collection of impactful typographic and lettering book cover designs?
Well, by following a simple but tedious two- step process.
First we studied several respected '100 books to read' type compilations. Specifically - the original 2003 BBC Big Read, The Guardian's 100 greatest novels all time, Time Magazine's All Time 100, Amazon’s 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime, Project Gutenberg's Top 100, and finally Harvard's Top 100 must reads.
Then we sieved through cover after cover from the above master list,
with a trained hawk eye to pick out only the most striking book jacket designs. Many of them designed under the direction of Penguin Book's long standing art & creative director - Paul Buckley.
Thus ensuring each of the book cover editions you see below - will be both - equally sought after to read, as they are to collect, by any self-respecting bibliophile.
Alternatively you could gift wrap the bookworm in question something from our literary posters ( like the Lolita poster below), or from our website specialising in inspirational typographic art.
