The world would be a better place if everyone follows this! Nice poem with a lot of good sense! 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. And you want to smile, you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit. 'Success is failure turned inside out' is a brilliant line. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high. (You have to fight because you can and you want to) this is nice poem for all person or someone to realize that not quit and still fighting into end

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. I used it in speeches then and nearly forty years later it hangs on the wall of my office and I am still using it to encourage people NOT TO QUIT. This poem helped create in me a don?t quit attitude in my life while in high school.
