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 care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must - but don't you quit!
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometime 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 might succeed with another blow ......
Success is failure turned inside out-
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt-
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit-
It's when things get worse that you mustn't quit!
Don't trust the clouds - trust the sunshine.
Don't set your compass by the flash of lightning - set it by the stars.
Trust the sun - don't trust the shadows.
Believe in your dreams - don't believe in your despairing thoughts.
Have faith in your faith - and doubt your doubts.
Trust in your hopes - never trust in your hurts.
And you will move on eventually, effectively, inspiringly to faith's final
phase: the cresting phase.
