Don't Quit
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.
Life is queer with its twist 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 seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
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 so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst,
that you must not quit.

不要放弃
克林顿 毫威耳
当事情象通常那样的不顺心时，
当您跋涉的路途上布满了荆棘，
当资金有限而花费 过高，
当您想笑时而不得不感叹，
当爱的心怀反而将您压倒，
休息一下，假如您需要，
但，不要放弃。
生活曲折而古怪，
就像我们每一个人看到的那样，
就像有很多的失败者
在他们可能获胜的执着的片刻之前的回转，
不要放弃，
尽管那进展的速度看起来很慢
您可能会在下一个呼吸当时间而获得胜利
胜利是失败的反面，
是疑惑的云端银色的光泽，
但是您不知道您是多么的接近。
当它看起来遥远时，可能已经很近
所以在最艰难时刻的持续反击，
就是在事情看来最不可救药的时候，
您，绝不能放弃！
