Life Philosophy

Don’t Quit
When thing goes wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all up hill;
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile but you had to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must but don’t quit.
Life is queer with its’ twist and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns;
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he 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 faint and struggling 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 tent of the clouds of doubts;
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems far;
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

A winner never quit” - anonymous
