Don't Quit

"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will;
when the road you are 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 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 sick to the flight when you are hardest hit-
It is when things go wrong that you must not quit."

-------------------------------------------------------John Greenleaf Whittier
