Abraham Lincoln
“If you can't convince them, confuse them.”
Harry S Truman
“A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.”
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels
“Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself”
Mark Twain
“Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far.”
Teddy Roosevelt
