Hmm.... That Lincoln was one smart cookie.... Thanks Paul.... :)

Paul.... Whatever the details of your situation, I hope you stick in there and persist.... Give it all you've got!

Paul.... This quote is for you.... :)

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

-- Calvin Coolidge (US President, 1923-1929)

And this quote is for you, Paul, and for everybody.... :)

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

-- Vince Lombardi (legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers)

Paul.... Thanks for posting.... I know that many people reading this forum have been through some rough times, me included.... So I think I speak for many of us when I say that our support is with you....
