What good fortune for governments that the people do not think.

The great mass of people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.

Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
