What you posted is partially true – depending on what you actually mean by that.
1) If you mean that some of the quotes you find online have not been quoted by the person who they are attributed to (as in your case Abraham Lincoln), I have to agree.
2) If you mean that they are not true as in the real meaning of the word, some are, some are not
3) If you mean something else, please enlighten me
4) If you just wanted to add your tuppence worth, then be it

2 & 4

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Sonnet 29 – coz it’s gud innit
