"Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters, cannot be trusted with important matters."
Albert Einstein
This quotation expresses that truth is one of the most important elements to a person be considered trustful. It reveals that truth have to be used in every single situation, even in the smallest ones. I totally agree with this quote. I believe that anything in which truth is not used, can not be trusted or considered right.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Joseph Goebbels
This second quotation expresses that truth can be avoided if the same lie is repeated many times. It expresses the idea that truth is not very important. I do not think this quote is right. In my opinion, truth has to be used in all situations, as it's said on the first quotation. Somehow, even if a lie is used lots of times, the truth will appear at some point.

The Holocaust - non fiction (think about the lies told so the Nazis could villainize many people)
I liked how in your second quote it didnt say truth in it, it was implied so you had to think about it.
