Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds 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, you don't you quit.
For life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Success is just 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 seem worst that you must not quit.
