DON'T QUIT

"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
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 every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd 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 man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

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 seem worst that you mustn't quit."
*Unknown*


"Every person you meet knows something you don't,
Learn from them." *H. Jackson Brown*

"Lack of will power has caused more failure
Than lack of intelligence or ability."

"Nobody is ever old
until the day that dreams are replaced by regrets..."

Can possibly find out how far one can go." *T.S. Eliot*

that the moments when you really lived, are
the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love."

all your annoying habits are gone!" *Merrill Markoe*

Involve me and I understand."
