About This Quote
I knew how one climbing the mountain of worldly success can slip down into the river below without being conscious of the descent till he is already drowning. This quote by Rudyard Kipling was said in order to warn people not to give up when things are going bad. Life is hard and it may be tough, but it is never too late to turn things around. If you have the determination, the perseverance, and strength of heart to press forward in life, you will always find your way out.
