Don't Quit

"When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging is all uphill.

When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but 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 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 sleems 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 slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.

It's when things seem worst....

....You must not quit."

The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world we find

Success being with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are:
You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
