I have had in the back of my mind the quote written below. It is from the walls of Jen's Place Bakery in Dallas, TX. I had taken a picture of it at one point, but it was lost. Their amazing owner took the time to respond to an email from me (with very sketchy details, I might add!), and sent me a picture!!
If you haven't been to Jen's, I highly recommend it (especially the cookies!). Special thanks to Gary Maroulis, Owner and Operator, who took the time out to send me a pic of this quote!!
If you sometimes get discouraged, consider this fellow:
He dropped out of grade school.
Ran a country store.
Went broke.
Took 15 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, image how many people
all over the world
have been inspired
by this awkward,
rumpled,
brooding man
who signed his name, simply,
A. Lincoln
