About This Quote

The saying, “When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up” was first published by the American soldier, General George Armstrong Custer. This was written during his time as a Union Army officer during the Civil War. He believed that what separated soldiers from civilians was their willingness to keep fighting until the war was over.

Custer believed that soldiers should never give up, no matter how bad things seemed or how hopeless things seemed at the time. He believed that soldiers should keep moving forward until they had won.
