El arte de la mentira política / ¿Es conveniente engañar al pueblo? Quotes

“Few lies carry the inventor’s mark, and the most prostitute enemy to truth may spread a thousand, without being known for the author: besides, as the vilest writer hath his readers, so the greatest liar hath his believers: and it often happens, that if a lie be believed only for an hour, it hath done its work, and there is no further occasion for it.”
― Jonathan Swift, El arte de la mentira política
