Joseph Goebbels

If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes accepted as truth.

Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.

Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.

Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.

We can do without butter, but, despite all our love of peace, not without arms. One cannot shoot with butter, but with guns.

If we are attacked we can only defend ourselves with guns not with butter.

The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.

It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.

That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda's task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.
