evidence: The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum said there was no evidence of Lincoln saying those words. Library and museum spokesman Chris Wills said: "The quote about creating the future has been attributed to Lincoln for decades, and while there is no hard proof he ever said it, the sentiment certainly matches other things president Lincoln is documented to have said". [...] The quote’s origin has been variously attributed to two Nobel Prize winners, Ilya Prigogine and Dennis Gabor and to US management consultant and author Peter Drucker. Gabor, who won the Nobel prize for physics in 1971, wrote in his 1963 book, Inventing the Future: "The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented." Prigogne said: "The way to cope with the future is to create it" and Drucker has been widely credited with saying: "You cannot predict the future, but you can create it." Drucker’s quote came from his book, Drucker on Leadership: New Lessons from the Father of Modern Management (2009). Based on the evidence above, AAP FactCheck found the quote about predicting your future to be misattributed to Abraham Lincoln. A Lincoln academic confirmed to AAP FactCheck the quote is not by him and two other experts also say there is no evidence he uttered those words.
