Reported to have been said in one of his speeches at Clinton, Illinois, on 2nd September 1858, but there is no contemporary evidence confirming that (like many other one-liners attributed to Lincoln) - see, for example, The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, vol. 3, p. 81 (ed. Roy P. Basler). But this line has also been attributed to P. T. Barnum and (less commonly) to others.
The inversion that "You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time" has also been attributed to Lincoln, amongst others.

Who said you can fool some of the people some of the time all of the people all the time but you cant fool mom?
Anonymous, deriving it from a phrase attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Note that "you can fool some of the people some of the time, all of the people all the time" does not make logical sense.
Who said you can't fool all the people all the time?
Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." The quote is found in the book written by Alexander McClure (1828-1909) entitled "Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories in 1901. McClure was appointed an Assistant Adjutant General by Lincoln, and campaigned for his election. He was a personal friend of Lincolns.

Who wrote you can fool some of the people some of the time but you cant fool all the people all the time?
Abraham Lincoln is often credited with this quote, although there is debate over whether he actually said it. The sentiment suggests that deception may work temporarily, but truth will ultimately prevail.
You can fool all of the people some of the time?
According to Alexander McClure (1828-1909) Abraham Lincoln said this. McClure was appointed an adjutant General by Lincoln and he is a noted Lincoln friend and biographer. In 1901 he published "Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories" in which he quotes Lincoln as saying, " It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time: but you can't fool all of the people all the time." This saying has also been attributed to P.T. Barnum, but my research has been unable to associate this saying with Barnum.
Who said 'You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time?
The quote is, "You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time." Roy P. Basler attributes this to Abraham Lincoln, from his 2 September 1858 Clinton, Illinois speeches.
Who said You can please some of the people some of the time all of the people some of the time some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time?
I believe this is an adaption of a quote from Abraham Lincoln. "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
You can please some of the people?
Do you mean: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time" Yes, I suppose the word, "please" could be substituted for "fool" in this famous quotation by former American President, Abraham Lincoln.
You can fool all the people some of the time some of the people all the time but you can't fool all the people all the time?
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. There is also a variant (sometimes claimed to be the original form): "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." However, Alexander McClure attributes the quote to Lincoln in his 1901 book Lincoln's Own Yarns and Stories. McClure (1828-1909) was a personal friend of Lincoln and was appointed Asst Adjutant General by Lincoln. He also worked on Lincoln's 1860 election. I could find no credible source attributing the quote to Barnum.
