It is better to continue than to give up on everything.

Am I leading my life of prayer poorly? What of it, I continue; it's better to continue than to flee! Do I love God poorly? What of it! I continue, it's better to continue as best as I can than to give up everything.

(Father Jerome /1907–1985/, monk of the Trappist monastery in Sept-Fons, Possibilities and Melodies)
