Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the roads you're trudging is 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 twist and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have had he stuck it out;

Don't you give up, though the pace seems slow-

You might succeed with another blow.

Success is a 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 to afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-

It's when things seems worst that you mustn't quit
