As every one of us sometimes learns , And many failures turn about When we might have won had we stuck it out . Don ’ t give up though the pace seems slow … You may succeed with another blow . 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 … And you can never 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 that you must not quit .
