DON'T QUIT:

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're 
trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are 
high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is 
pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit! 

Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes 
learns, And many a failure has turned about, When they might have 
won had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, 
You may succeed with another blow! 


Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering one, 
Often the struggler has given up When they might have captured the 
victor's cup. And they learned too late, when the night slipped down, 
How close they were to the golden crown. 

Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint to the clouds of 
doubt. And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when 
it seems so far. So stick to the task when you're hardest hit, It's when 
things seem the worst, that you must not quit!
