Would you quit if you got an R&R?

Hi there,

I am new here; nice to meet you all!

I have just submitted my thesis in philosophy. My viva is in the end of March. It took me about 5 years to submit and I did try my best. I was running out of time and extensions and I had to submit, so my supervisor asked me to do so, though my discussion lacked some evidence. He mentions, though, that I may get major corrections or (most likely) I may have to revise and resubmit. Of course I try to keep positive but I am dreading the day of the viva.

So, my question is... would you quit if you got a revise and resubmit or it is worth giving it another year in case I complete the PhD later? Any advice? Have any of you managed to succeed after a revise and resubmit?
