E143-A          

• Don't Quit
• When things go wrong
• as they sometimes will,
• when the road you're trudging
• seems 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, of you must, but don't you quit.
• Life is queer with its twists 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.
• 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 so far;
• So stick to the fight
• when you're hardest hit
• it's when things go wrong,
• that you must not quit.
