DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When 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 if you must but don’t you QUIT

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 afar
So, stick to the fight when your hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t QUIT

As a child my mother would say:
When there is no obstacles on the path it is leading nowhere.
