You can fool part of the people some of the time, you can fool some of the
people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Adage attributed to Lincoln, 1886[1]
[1] It
appears that the original precursor to Lincoln’s alleged (and unproven) remarks
was Jacques Abbadie, a French Huguenot, who wrote in 1684: “One can fool some
men, or can fool some men in some places and times, but no one can fool all men
in all places and ages.” http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/12/11/cannot-fool/
