He had a way with words did Spike Here's another

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"

Interpretation
It highlights the notion that deception and manipulation have their limits. While it is possible to deceive certain individuals for extended periods or even deceive everyone at times, it is inevitable that the truth will eventually surface. No matter how skilled or cunning a person may be, there will always be someone who sees through the façade and discern the truth.

OC I hear what you are saying but it was never proved that Abraham Lincoln said it.

I should have posted the whole quote from Spike Milligan.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, which is just long enough to be president of the United States.
