Reported to have been said in one of his speeches at Clinton, Illinois, on 2nd September 1858, but there is no contemporary evidence confirming that (like many other one-liners attributed to Lincoln) - see, for example, The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, vol. 3, p. 81 (ed. Roy P. Basler). But this line has also been attributed to P. T. Barnum and (less commonly) to others.
The inversion that "You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time" has also been attributed to Lincoln, amongst others.
Some people did not appreciate Abraham Lincoln's choice to end slavery. Most of these people wanted to kill him, resulting in his assassination in 1865. Many historians feel his suspension of the Constitutional right of habeas corpeus during the Civil War was illegal and amoral.
President Abraham Lincoln
It Deppends, You cant say badwords, You cant say anthing thats harmless so there are a few limits but remember some people dont have freedom of speech.

No, he was the first president of the US. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th But, He was however the 16th President of the Continental Congress. The first president of the Continental Congress was Peyton Randolph and some people do consider him the "first" President.
Anonymous, deriving it from a phrase attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Note that "you can fool some of the people some of the time, all of the people all the time" does not make logical sense.
Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." The quote is found in the book written by Alexander McClure (1828-1909) entitled "Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories in 1901. McClure was appointed an Assistant Adjutant General by Lincoln, and campaigned for his election. He was a personal friend of Lincolns.
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.-Abraham Lincoln
Some people are fool cause they are fool. You cant change them by any means. Basically God made them like that. So cant help it boy. They are like that from their origin itself.
According to Alexander McClure (1828-1909) Abraham Lincoln said this. McClure was appointed an adjutant General by Lincoln and he is a noted Lincoln friend and biographer. In 1901 he published "Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories" in which he quotes Lincoln as saying, " It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time: but you can't fool all of the people all the time." This saying has also been attributed to P.T. Barnum, but my research has been unable to associate this saying with Barnum.
The quote is, "You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time." Roy P. Basler attributes this to Abraham Lincoln, from his 2 September 1858 Clinton, Illinois speeches.
I believe this is an adaption of a quote from Abraham Lincoln. "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
Do you mean: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time" Yes, I suppose the word, "please" could be substituted for "fool" in this famous quotation by former American President, Abraham Lincoln.
It is commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but there appears to be no hard evidence that he actually said it. It has also been attributed to P. T. Barnum (of the world famous Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus), poet John Lydgate and Mark Twain. There is also a variant (sometimes claimed to be the original form): "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." However, Alexander McClure attributes the quote to Lincoln in his 1901 book Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories. McClure (1828-1909) was a personal friend of Lincoln and was appointed Asst Adjutant General by Lincoln. He also worked on Lincoln's 1860 election. I could find no credible source attributing the quote to Barnum.
some people cant dance because they had never been taught how to. some people try and try but they cant get it
because god gave us free will !
Anyone can be fooled given the right circumstances. Some people, including ones who are naive, may be easier to fool than others.
