"The Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people." (Winston Churchill, Brighton, October 4, 1947)

It is a constant warfare from the cradle to the grave without comfort, thanks, or rewards, and is always overcome at last." (John Adams to Elbrige Gerry, April 25, 1785)
