Abraham Lincoln actually said...

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.

Context

From Lincoln’s Second Annual Message to Congress, urging adaptation to new challenges.

11/30/1862
