by Edgar A. Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you're 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 everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may 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 came down,
how close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and when 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,
you must not quit.
More Food for Thought on Quitting
Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do. Napoleon Hill
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit. Vince Lombardi
I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
Napoleon Hill
A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.
Zig Ziglar
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney

William Arthur Ward
Never, never, never quit!
Sir Winston Churchill
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
George Allen
What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.
Alexander Graham Bell
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
You are never a loser until you quit trying.
Mike Ditka
Quit now, you'll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you'll be halfway there.
David Zucker
No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Napoleon Hill
Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."
H. Ross Perot
If you are feeling stressed and want to quit - don't....as you will have more stress by quitting. And when you succeed you will find the stress of being determined has paid off. We all have stress in our lives, how we deal with it will determine our success!
