The quote is generally attributed to Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, who was Adolf Hitler's Propaganda Minister in Nazi Germany. It's also, in various forms, been used by and/or attributed to several people since... Including Lenin and various Chinese ministers.
In reality, though, there's no verifiable attribution of the basic quote to anyone. The closest verifiable source would tend to lead us to believe that Goebbels didn't come up with it on his own, but rather got the idea from his boss.
In Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) he originates the idea of "das Grosse Luge" (The Big Lie):
"But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success."
What Goebbels said was that if you repeat a lie often enough people believe it, not that 'it becomes the truth'.
"Tell a big lie long enough and people will start to believe it". "Make the lie big, and keep it simple. when you repeat it enough times, people will believe it"
yes i do believe that
It talks about the fact that if people don't do something to defend what they believe, they'll end up becoming what they once hated/feared.
If people do not learn from history (Vietnam) then they are doomed to repeat it.
you can very much lie to yourself. to make yourself believe in something you want to believe. not taking in much of the truth people say. just to think you are right you may repeat the lie over and over and may or may not come obsessed with it.
Redundant.
The word "repeat" can function as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, it signifies doing something again, while as a noun, it refers to the action of doing something again.
The verb for repeatedly is repeat. As in "to repeat something".
The verb for repetition is repeat. As in "to repeat something or someone".
Repeat it.
