About This Quote

I’ve known people that the world has thrown everything at to discourage them...to break their spirit. And yet something about them retains a dignity. They face life and don’t ask quarters. They find a way to stand up and not fall down.

So, they don’t ask for quarter they just keep going, and going, and going. And yes, sometimes they fail but they roll right back up and try again.
