#lincolnquotations
Lincoln “quotations” are everywhere — on websites, in social media memes, on greeting cards. They pop up in political speeches, newspaper articles, inspirational books and pamphlets. Sometimes the quotations are accurate ….. and often they are not. Here are some examples of Lincoln quotations printed over the decades on postcards. Can you tell which are accurate? Did Lincoln REALLY say that???
“I feel that I cannot succeed…”
“The leading rule for the man…”
“The brave men, living and dead…”
All postcards are from the Jean Zurow Lincoln Postcard Collection, held by the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection at Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
