Abraham Lincoln actually said...

"I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have anything [nothing?] to talk about."

"We could not exaggerate either the commercial or the political importance of that great improvement."

"We all know where he went in at, but I can't tell where he will come out at."

"I solicit your authority to furnish to the Republic a gunboat at moderate cost, to be reimbursed to the United States by installments."
