Lincoln quote? Probably was actually from Roosevelt.

Turns out the quote may well be apocryphal. I didn't think it sounded of Lincoln's era - the words have an anachronistic quality. Roosevelt, now, it'd be perfect.

Still, several quote sites do repeat the quote but none have a pointer to its origin. http://books.google.com/books?id=TcbR_pf71cMC&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=quote+%22if+any+man+tells+you+he+loves+america%2C+yet+hates+labor%22+hoax&source=bl&ots=_L4JQfwJxw&sig=RpL7sv7No0HVXru5kVt0dnJJoto&hl=en&sa=X&ei=n7XXT9vPEeTW2AX20Z2KDw&ved=0CFAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=quote%20%22if%20any%20man%20tells%20you%20he%20loves%20america%2C%20yet%20hates%20labor%22%20hoax&f=false

"The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.

— Robert F. Kennedy
