I believe both statements are accurate. I'm slightly more inclined to believe Albert actually made the statement attributed to him, though.
The quote by Lincoln is real, also. You can tell because they didn't have Photoshop back then.

Girl, 17, Murdered At College – Parents Infuriated After Discovering Death While BROWSING FACEBOOK
I don't even know what to say.
Call Parents to notify
Aside from calling for medical assistance, my brother was the first call.
Basically, this is how it went:
"Mr Schilling, this is _____ from Wabash College, Sir, I'm sorry to have to call you, but something has happened to your son. No sir, we don't know any details yet, he was found to be unresponsive in his room about 5 minutes ago, medical personnel are enroute, the college emts are there now. No, sir, he didn't appear to be outwardly injured. Yes, the police are being notified by one of my staff as we speak. Yes, sir, I will keep you informed as soon as we know anything else.
It only takes about 4 seconds to pick up a phone and call the parents...
Wouldnt you rather be called and told as soon possible, even though your questions can't be answered?
More of the story needs to be told on this girl though. How many hours/minutes had passed before the parents saw this? I won't rush to judge. I've been on the other end of that phone and it hurt, but not near as much if he hadn't called at all and I saw it elsewhere.
Me? I'd rather there be a 30 minute delay and be told in person than via an impersonal phone call. Being alone is generally not the best thing for people after hearing traumatic news that their loved one is gone. That's just my opinion though, everybody is different.
