β€œNever give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

This quote is encouraging the reader to persist in the face of adversity, and not give up when things seem hopeless. It is saying that even in the darkest of times, there is always a chance of success if you keep working and never give up. The tide is often used as a metaphor for the turning of fortune, and this quote is suggesting that no matter how dire the situation may seem if you keep pushing forward, the tide will eventually turn in your favor.
