LINCOLN DIDN’T QUIT
THE SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE IS PRESENT IN ALL OF US. A DUTY TO STRIVE IS THE DUTY OF US ALL. I FELT A CALL TO THAT DUTY”, ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Probably the great example of persistence is the late Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. He was born into poverty, and was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost 18 elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could have quit many times – but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest Presidents in the history of the U.S.A.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up. This is a sketch of Lincoln’s road to the White House.
1816 His family were forced out of their home and Abraham Lincoln to had to work to support them
1831 His Mum died
1831 Failed in business
1832 Ran for state legislature – Lost also lost his job, wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in
1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year was bankrupted. He spent the next 17 years paying off this debt.
1834 Ran for state legislative again - Won
1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died suddenly and his heart was broken
1836 Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for nine months
1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature – Defeated
1840 Sought to before elector – Defeated
1843 Ran for Congress – Lost
1846 Ran for Congress again – this time he won, went to Washington and did an excellent job
1848 Ran for re-election to Congress – Lost
1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state - Rejected
1854 Ran for the Senate – Lost
1856 Sought the Vice – Presidential nomination at convention – got less than 100 votes.
1858 Ran for Senate again – and once again he lost
1860 Elected President of the United States
After his very many defeats and all the elections Abraham lost, he had a special few lines that kept him focused and ready to re-start. These are his own words, and maybe they might just help all of us too not to quit. “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other one out of my way, but I recovered and said to myself “it’s a slip and not a fall”.
MISSION APPEAL: The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary will have Sr. Nuala Glynn speaking at all Masses on the weekend of Oct. 10th & 11th. There will be a door collection after all Masses in aid of The Franciscan Missionaries. Your generous support would be deeply appreciated. Thank You.
