Don't Quit...
 
 When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, 
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, 
When the funds are low and the debt's 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 do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, 
As everyone of us sometimes 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.

Often the goal is nearer than It seems 
To a faint and faltering man, 
Often the struggler has given up 
When he might have captured the victor's cup. 
And he learned too late, 
when the night slipped down, 
How close he was to the golden crown.

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 afar; 
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.. 
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.


Heroism

Whether we climb,  whether we plod,
Space for one task the scant years lend---
To choose the path that leads to God,
And keep it to the end.

-Lizette Woodworth Reese
