It is paraprhased, but essentially that is what Goebbles did say. That was the main theme of politicians of the Nazi and Communist regime. It holds true for politicians today and will eventually be their downfall. Never fails. If you tell a lie big enough, it will return to destroy you no matter how many people swallow it.

His name was Walter Langer, but he was describing Adolf Hitler's approach to government. Hitler put forward the theory of The Big Lie in his book, Mein Kampf. The quote you cite is close to the formulation later used by his associate Joseph Goebbels, but also to the one Langer used in writing a profile of Hitler for the U.S. Office of Strategic Services(the OSS was the precursor to the CIA): "His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."
