Don't Quit!

Something to lift up your spirit…

Also one of my favourites ever since school times.

*****************************************************************************

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 strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up through 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 came 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 the worst,

That You Mustn't Quit!

Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
It’s courage that counts!
