Berle's missing "all of the time" is on pourpose. The original quote is:
You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of
the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people
all of the time. --Abraham Lincon
Apparently that saying inspired others like M.Berle's one and:
You can fool all the people all the time if the advertising is
right and the budget is big enough.--Joseph E. Levine
But may be I was fooled and got it all wrong ;-)
