quotations about quitting
We quit college, relationships, opportunities ... the list is endless. As a person who has faced his share of challenges and has given up, I can say with conviction that in many cases quitting is not the end (unfortunately). The problem is, if you are walking away from something you know in your heart is right for you and your life, the long-term emotional toll can bring more pain and suffering than the thing you walked away from.

Champions don't quit.
MIKE TYSON

So if you're lost and on your own
You can never surrender
And if your path won't lead you home
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see, you can see light
Cause no one can take away your right
To fight and to never surrender
COREY HART
"Never Surrender"
Yes, in our society, quitting is a dirty word, something to be ashamed of and avoid at all costs. We pride ourselves on being the can-do type, and quitting seems antithetical to everything we stand for. Sometimes, though, quitting is not only the best thing to do, it is the most honorable thing to do. Quitting takes courage, and is never an easy decision. And, for those who do quit honorably and responsibly, you have my deepest respect.
JOHN COLEMAN
