If you sometimes get discouraged,
Consider this fellow.
He dropped out
of grade school.
Went broke.
Took five years to
pay off
his bills.
Took a wife.
Unhappy marriage.
Ran for House.
Lost twice.
Ran for Senate.
Lost twice.
Delivered speech
that became a classic.
Audience indifferent.
Attacked daily
by the press
and despised
by half the country
Despite all this,
imagine
how many people
all over the world
have been
inspired
by this awkward,
rumpled,
brooding man
who signed
his name
simply,
A. Lincoln
