Other things Lincoln never said:
"All that loves labor serves the nation. All that harms labor is treason to America."
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance...for it...attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out o things that are not crimes."
"I have never known a worthwhile man who became too big for his boots or his Bible."
"God must have loved the common people, he made so many of them."
"If this nation is to be destroyed, it will be destroyed from within; if it is not destroyed from within, it will live for all time to come."
"The restoration of the Rebel States to the Union must rest upon the principle of civil and political equality of both races...."
"I know there is a God and that He hates injustice and slavery."
And the famous "You cannot" series:
"You cannot . . .
"bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift; strengthen the weak by weakening the strong; help strong men by tearing down big men; help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer; further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred; help the poor by destroying the rich; establish sound security on borrowed money; keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn; build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative; and help men permanently by doing for them what they could...do for themselves."
"You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time."
Apparently.
