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, When you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When cares are pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit!
Life is strange with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he stuck it out.
Don’t you give up though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow,
Often the goal is nearer than, It ever 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, with a groan and frown, How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
You never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far,
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.
