In Germany we have a proverb "Lügen haben kurze Beine" - Lies have short legs.
Or, like Bob Marley once said "You can fool some people some times, but you can't fool all the people all the time"

Goebbels, the Nazi regime's Minister of Propaganda used repetition and simplification techniques to influence public opinion. The phrase sums up this practice, although there is no reliable evidence that he actually said it in those exact words.
