America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Could someone give me a link confirming that this quote came out of Lincoln's mouth (historical evidence, proven evidence, not a random website). I have heard that Lincoln never said this.
 
Doesn't sound like him. Let me see what I can find.
Edit: Apparently he did say it. There were many links, but I trusted this one because it's from pbs.org and also because it mentions Doris Kearns Goodwin, a respected historian.
