NIL DESPERANDUM!
by Abdullah Quilliam

Courage brother! Do not falter,
Dry your tears and cease from sighing;
Though clouds look black, they soon may alter,
And the sun will send them flying.

"Out of evil oft cometh good,"
Is a maxim to my liking;
The blacksmith well the iron beateth,
But 'tis better for his striking.

Work today and give up grieving,
Know that joy is born of sorrow;
And though to-day is rainy weather,
Hap 'twill brighter be to-morrow.

Gambling doth not make our labour
The least bit more a pleasant task;
'Tis joyful heart that lightens trouble,
Contentment brings to those who ask.

First the childhood, then the manhood;
First the task and then the story;
'Tis after nightfall comes the dawning,
First the shade and then the glory.

I prefer
"Nil illigitemi grindicus" which translated means "Never let the b4stard grind you down"

Another favourite is;

"Concretus manurus" which means "Tough sh1t"
