A quote from Abraham Lincoln

Listening to the political conventions, I am reminded of something Abraham Lincoln was supposed to have said:
You can fool some of the people all the time.
And you can fool all of the people some of the time.
But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
But actually that quote is not quite accurate. Lincoln was in the White House at the time, and there was a great deal of noise coming from the street where ambulances were rushing back from the Second Battle of Bull Run, clattering over the cobblestones. There were the sounds of cannon in the distance. Mrs. Lincoln was in the next room complaining loudly to someone about the new drapes, and one of the kids was yelling in the next room. It was hard to hear. What he actually said was this:
You can fool some of the people all the time.
And you can fool all of the people some of the time.
But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time
But you can fool most of the people most of the time—especially if you spend a lot of money. (c) Fredric Neuman
