Another one often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but more likely an old Chinese proverb is:
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.
G.W. Bush tried it in Nashville Tn. once, and made a complete hash of it, he said:
There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee,
that says,
Fool me once, shame on .................. shame on you.
Fool me ..................... you can't get fooled again.
