![]() One might want to be happy but also have to deal with negative circumstances out of their control. In the first stanzas of this poem, the speaker admits that things are going to seem “low” at points in one’s life. ‘Don’t Quit’ by Edgar Albert Guest is an inspirational poem that should inspire readers to work hard no matter how impossible a situation seems. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,Īnd when you never can tell how close you are, Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup Īnd he learned too late when the night came down, Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man ![]() When care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit.Īnd many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.ĭon't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. When the funds are low and the debts are high,Īnd you want to smile but you have to sigh, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, ![]() When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, One needs to work hard and never give in to the desire to quit. It doesn’t matter what kind of situation one is in. He spends the four stanzas asking readers to persevere no matter how hard their life is. Throughout ‘ Don’t Quit,’ American poet Edgar Albert Guest uses simple language and diction to convey an inspirational message to readers.
