6 Quotes About Telling The Truth

About

Quotes and sayings of Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Tell all the truth but tell it slant. Emily Dickinson. In deep insecurity is truth realised. Jiddu Krishnamurti. It is truth alone that gives strength. Swami Vivekananda.
