Don't Quit
I LOVE this quote! My grandmother had this taped to her mirror on her dresser. In the 2nd half of her life she lost the use of her legs, but remained the most positive person. I consider my glass in life to be overflowing, and my optimism has been formed by being around such great influencers as my grandmother.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out—
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
