Is it important to add that I am talking about twelfth night and the characters I will be talking about in the next 3 paragraphs, or is this fine:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Therefore, the only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once. Time is the ally of truth, or the worst enemy of a liar, and revenge is having the truth presented to public and the liar made obvious. ”And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.” What comes around goes around. With time, the truth will be revealed.
Make sure you give credit for the quotation that is your first sentence. That entire sentence needs to be quoted exactly and needs to be in quotation marks, and then you must name Abraham Lincoln as the originator of that statement. http://www.quoteland.com/search.asp?query=you+can+fool+some+of+the+people
GuruBlue may have further suggestions for you.

Why is it important to write the person who quoted.
Any quote must always be attributed to its source. Otherwise this is called plagerism... for which a paper can be given a failing grade. It is like stealing someones words.
so how do i write the name. Is brackets after the quote?
write the name in parenthesis
You had asked this before. Here is what I suggested: "use the last sentence of your introduction to mention their names. Then write one paragraph on how each of them were brought to the truth by time."
Then the last sentence of the paragraph would include how this changed how that character thought.
I have a setup I must use. Intro, thesis, examples of three characters in 3 paras, and conclusion.
That setup is exactly what I am talking about.
You have the introduction written and have started on the first paragraph...I was telling you how to finish that paragraph.... and some ideas for what to put in your conclusion.
ok....and have you actually read the novel tewlfth night?
Yup... have taught it many times <G>
Could you give me an example of a situation involving the quote so I can get a basic idea.
When you are reading the play, write down instances when the truth is not told..... also write down the characters who are lied to. Then you will have a basis for your other two paragraphs. These study notes may help you with this.

Based on your question, it seems like you are working on an essay or analysis of the play "Twelfth Night" and want to include a quote by Abraham Lincoln. It is important to properly attribute any quote to its source to avoid plagiarism. In this case, the quote you shared should be attributed to Abraham Lincoln as the originator of the statement. You can mention his name in parenthesis after the quote, like this:
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time" (Abraham Lincoln).
By providing the source of the quote, you are giving credit to the original author and avoiding any issues of plagiarism.
To provide an example situation involving the quote, you could analyze how the characters in "Twelfth Night" deceive and manipulate each other, leading to repercussions when the truth is eventually revealed. Take note of instances in the play where characters are lied to or where the truth is obscured. You can also refer to study notes, such as those provided by SparkNotes, to help you analyze the play in more depth.
Remember to structure your essay with an introduction, thesis statement, three paragraphs discussing different characters and their experiences with deception, and a conclusion. By following this setup and using examples from the play, you can provide a thorough analysis of the theme of deception in "Twelfth Night."
