“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, when the funds are low and 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…. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to the 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.”- Edgar Guest
