The Dance (first version), 1909, The Museum of Modern Art, New York City
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day.s work,e from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
- Henri Matisse For it's just about to turn;
Don't quit over doubt's and questions,
For there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For its just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.
Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.
