is it ok to be a quiter?

is it ok to be a quiter? It is so much more easier to say i quit or i give up rather than Im going to do it or I did it! When you quit on things your left with yourself doing nothing. Jonathan has been trying and trying to help himself, aswell as the little boy. When Jonathan had the chance to kill the Hessians, he quit. Now Jonathan did quit but now when you quit upon somthing you just opened a door for someone else. The corporal now knows where the house is and is going to kill the soldiers. If Jonathan was to kill the Hessians, Where would he be? He'd be on his way home because theres nothing left for the corporal to take credit upon. Truly, When you quit, and just give up you open a door for someone else to take upon that chance you had. So in my opinion it is not ok to quit.
