Don’t Quit



When things go wrong, as they sometimes will:

When the road you’re trudging seems uphill:

When the 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 don’t you quit:

Success is failure turned inside out:

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt:

And you can never tell how close you are:

It may be near when it seems far:

So stick to the fight, when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.
