Der baal agalah shmaised, dee ferd briken-zich, un-dervaile fort-men.
– Reb Mendel Futerfass;
Loosely translated:
The coachman whips, the horses lash-out and all the while the journey progresses.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When funds are low and debts are high
You try to smile but somehow sigh.
When life weigh’s you down more than a bit
Rest you must but never ever quit.
Life is queer it twists and it turns
As everyone at some point is apt to learn.
But don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You might yet succeed with just another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of clouds of doubt.
Many a failure will turn about
You may be a winner should you stick it out.
You never can tell how close you are
It may be very near when it seems all so far.
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must recommit!
