Contrary to the assertion in the press release, there's no evidence Abraham Lincoln ever said, "the best way to predict the future is to create it." That would be Alan Kay.
Anyone who has read any of Lincoln's papers knows that simply isn't the way he would talk, or really anyone from his time period. The language that we use today around innovation, envisioning futures, boldly creating the world we want to live in, etc. is post-WWII.
