Abraham Lincoln Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/abrahamlin110340.html It is a good quote but the evidence linking it to Lincoln is tenuous. Quote In conclusion, Jacques Abbadie should be credited with the interesting precursor statement in French. QI believes based on current evidence that Abraham Lincoln probably did not employ this well-known adage. QI speculates that someone in the prohibitionist movement was exposed directly or indirectly to the works of Jacques Abbadie or Denis Diderot. He or she began to use the expression on or before 1885, and by 1886 the words were reassigned to Lincoln who was revered by many as a moral paragon. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/12/11/cannot-fool/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
