Who is the author of the quote "Nearly all men can stand adversity

Who is the author of the quote “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”?

Answer:

In popular culture, this quote has been attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but like most quotes attributed to him there is no evidence to suggest that he said these words. It is likely that the quote is either a misquote or a misunderstanding of a statement by Lincoln which was then claimed to be his.
