Abraham Lincoln? Thomas Carlyle? Robert G. Ingersoll? Horatio Alger Jr.? Apocryphal?
Dear Quote Investigator: I saw the following quotation on the website of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum:
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.
Lincoln was credited, but I have seen skepticism expressed on other websites. What do you think?
Quote Investigator: QI has found no substantive evidence that this statement was spoken or written by Abraham Lincoln. The famous orator and free thinker Robert G. Ingersoll employed similar phrases when he was describing Lincoln. QI conjectures that this was the primary nexus of confusion: something that was said about Lincoln was transformed into something that was said by Lincoln.
