Don’t Quit
Hollye’s book, The Silver Lining: A Supportive and Insightful Guide to Breast Cancer, was published by Simon & Schuster on March 2014. The book is co-authored by her dear friend, photographer Elizabeth Messina. It became a New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times bestseller.
Such a inspirational poem. But I want to know who is the poet?
Very good words to live by
Must not quit <3
So true, Sonia.
My mother gave this inspirational quote to me many years ago. Never forgot. Love and Miss you, Mom
The author is Edgar Guest my favorite poet
The author is Edgar Guest, I’m sure you’d find many of his other works inspirational as well.
My elder sister sent a hard copy of this poem to me in 1987 when working in extremely difficult conditions in a new culture far from home. I still keep it in my notebook as an inspiration and as a reminder of the value of the support and care of family.
Got tears reading your conversations…
Thank you so much Sending my best wishes to you!
awesome and inspiring
Thanks, Joshua!
I want to thank you for this quote. I'm not a breast cancer survivor, but I am a mother of two boys with bipolar disorder and other health issues. I am starting school this Fall for my 4th time and I am determined to not quit this time and finish school to get my degree. I saw this what I wanna call Inspirational Quote on Pinterest and it describes everything that means so much to me right now. So thank you and I am gonna carry it with me everyday to remind myself not to quit if times get hard.
Thank you so much for sharing, Angelique. Your note means the world to me. Sending all of my very best wishes to you as you begin school. Please take good care!
Thank You <3
Thank you! On many a dark day I will remember this. In the words of REM every body hurts but hold on!
Thank you so much for your kind note, Chris. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this poem, I read it at just the right time! I hope you know how very important and inspiring your blog is to a lot of people. I have told all my friends about it and sent them the link. Most of us are intimately connected to FBC in one way or another, it is a sisterhood and we are ever so glad to have found you.
E.B.,
What a lovely thing to say! I am so glad you enjoy this sisterhood and appreciate so much that you share it with others.
Best,
Hollye
