When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and 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 twist and turns, as everyone of us sometimes learn, and many a failing turns about, when he might have won if he'd stuck it out, don't might succeed with blow.
Often the strengler has given up, when he might capture the Victor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, how close he was he was with another crown.
Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close you are, it may be be near when it seems afar, so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, it's when things seems worst that you mustn't quit.
