Background information of “Don’t quit”
The authorship of “Don’t quit” is debatable. It could hae been written by a nineteen-year-old man, Ben Lief in 1920, a fifteen-year-old girl named Alice Enzie Zimmerman in 1948, or a hospitalised man named Frank Collins in 1952. Other people have claimed online that they wrote “Don’t quit”, but none of these claims have been proven. The poem is sometimes attributed to Edgar Albert Guest, a poet who immigrated to the US from England, and who wrote a very similar poem called “See it through”.
