Shakespeare:
Julius Caesar Act 3 Scene 1 - Caesar's verse "I could be well moved if I were as you........." - Stick to your guns
Hamlet ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ Act 3 Scene 1 - A perspective on the fallacy of suicide
Memorizing verse is good for the brain. But I really need to work on memorizing the Bible, to place it in my mind, and my heart which is good for the brain, and the soul.
The poem you link to is one of the best, and really matches up with DJT the man.
I committed to memory as a youth great works that tended to inspire me, or give me prospective on life. I can still quote them from memory even now.
My favorites are:
Casabianca - Speaks to devotion, loyalty, and courage of a son to his father. Based on true story
Father Forgets by W. Livingston Larned. - I used to remember these lines when my son was young to remind me not to be critical to too demanding.
Tennyson's Ulysses - Courage, Determination, and Perseverance
Tennyson's The Voyage - Inspired me to dream beyond the city limits.
