Our politicians are known for their gaffes, mistakes and on occasion downright dishonesty. But sometimes they come up with memorable sayings - for either the right or wrong reasons - and sometimes genuinely inspiring stuff. Here are your top ten political quotes from a range of politicians past and present:

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Think of the Press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. 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.
