Answer 1

Don't Quit Poem
by anonymous

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,
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.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone 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 seems slow;
You might 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 clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Answer 2

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone-cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before together.
-- Jacob A. Riis, journalist and social reformer (1849-1914)

Answer 3

Stick to your task till it sticks to you
Beginners are many but enders are few
For after the bend and the stretch and the smile
will come life's victories after a while

(it's a much longer poem, but that's all i can remember of it)

Answer 4

FOR THE RACE IS NOT GIVEN TO THE SWIFT NOR THE BATTLE TO THE STRONG BUT TO THE ONE THAT ENDURES TO THE END

THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH, THEY SHALL MOUNT UP ON THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT GET WEARY AND WALK AND NOT FAINT

Answer 5

"Where there is life there is opportunity"
"If you're still breathing, you're still in the game"
"Don't try; there is only do or don't do, there is no try"
"No pain, No gain"
