Seek till you find, and you'll lose no labour.

Keep searching or working toward a goal instead of abandoning the effort too soon. The saying presents finding what is sought as the result that makes the work worthwhile.

It encourages persistence by treating continued effort as productive rather than wasted. The point is not that success is effortless, but that perseverance can justify the labour invested.

Use this to encourage someone who is still looking for an answer, resource, opportunity, or solution and may be tempted to stop trying before reaching it.
