"If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth" “The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.”
both of these quotes come up very often and have even been used in published books attributed to Joseph Goebbels but it has never had a legitimate source.
I did some searching but came up empty, wiki quotes has this
"(multiple variations) If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. // If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. // If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. // If you repeat a lie long enough, it becomes truth. // If you repeat a lie many times, people are bound to start believing it.
no reliable source; probably misquotations of the Big Lie idea"

I have found the original quote
"There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it" by William James
but nothing beyond that to attribute to Goebbels
