altho lincoln was meant to have said it, it was acutally a quote from the poet, John Lydgate.
Supplement from 05/18/2007 03:41pm:
here is the full quote both from Lincoln and John Lydgate
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
to Lincoln. Actually, that particular quote belongs to the poet John Lydgate. But he wasn't too far off, because Lincoln did say:
You can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.
