never 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 quit. 

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns;
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won, had he struck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow;
You may well 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 you never can tell how close you are
If may be near, when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It is when things seem worst you must not quit. 

Two brothers once lived down this way,
and one was Do and one was Say. 
If streets were dirty, taxes high,
or schools too crowded, Say would cry:
"My,what a town!" But Brother Do
would set to work to make things new.
And while Do worked, Say still would cry:
"He does it wrong. I know that I could do it right."
So all the day
was heard the clack of Brother Say.
But this one fact from none was hid-
Say always talked, Do always did. 

Don't get discouraged when you hear
What people say about you;
Don't get the blues and drop a tear
Because they chance to doubt you.

Don't go around with troubled brow,
Over looking all life's beauty;
The folks that talk will suffer more
Than you, so do your duty.

Don't fret and fume and wish them ill,
Their lives hold little pleasure;
Send back a message of goodwill -
It will serve to heap your measure.

Don't be discouraged, for the world
Will always criticize you;
Earth's dearest treasures are the few
True friends who love and prize you. 

"How can I go on?" I cried,
When I saw the hill to climb,
"Dear child", the master said,
"Take one step at a time".
As I placed my hands in his
And went along the way,
The road became much smoother,
As we travelled day by day,
So friend, if you come to a hill,
Take the hand of the Master Sublime,
And do as he suggested-
"Take one step at a time."
