Never give up! it is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Fling off the load of Doubt's cankering fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical care;
Never give up, or the burden may sink you—
Providence kindly has mingled the cup;
And in all trials and troubles bethink you
The watchword of life must be—Never give up.

It's wiser being good than bad;
