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 debt are high; 

And you want to smile but you have to sign. 

When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, 

but don't you quit Success is failure turned inside out; 

The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; 

And you can never tell how close you are; 

It may be near when it seems far. 

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

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit." 

- John Greenleaf Whittier
