Considered one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, John Greenleaf Whittier was an American writer. Born in Massachusetts in 1807, Whittier grew up on a small farm.  "Don't Quit" poem resonates with readers due to its simple but yet profound message: when faced with challenges, it is essential not to give up.  It serves as a reminder that success often comes to those who persistently navigate through difficulties.
