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.

"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."
