"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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, of you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
as everyone of us sometimes learns,
and many a failure turns about,
when we 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."

Το έγραφε ένας σελιδοδείκτης που αγόρασα στην Αγγλία πριν απο 2 χρόνια. Δεν θυμάμαι αν τον είχα πάρει απο το St. Paul's ή το Westminster Abbey, αλλά ήταν πολύ προφητικό και πολύ βοηθητικό για να μείνω σταθερή στον ίδιο στόχο τα τελευταία 2 χρόνια.
Και για να την πω στους άγγλους, εμείς στη Γαλλία το λέμε πιο συνοπτικά και παραστατικά : όταν είσαι μέσα στα σκατά ως το λαιμό, δε σου μένει παρά να τραγουδήσεις :P
