Don't Quit


When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
when the road your trudging
seems all uphill,
When funds are low,
and the debts are high,
And you want to smile
but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but dont you quit...

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell
how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,

So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong
that you must not quit.

Don't Quit

Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
For it's just about to turn;
Don't quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.

Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure,
Until you fail to try.
