SOURCE: The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume VIII, "Speech to One Hundred Fortieth Indiana Regiment" (March 17, 1865), p. 361.

I have sure seen the other two attributed to Lincoln but have never seen an authentic source for either one. Maybe someone else will know of one.

Thanks, Roger. As you know, there are so many quotations attributed to Lincoln (especially on the internet, which Lincoln created, of course!).
