Bad apples 3 Sayings

 

How many times has the phrase "A few bad apples" been uttered?

It is has been used to discuss all sorts of nefarious things from shootings, crooked politicians or anything else.

There's another saying: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

"Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth." Joseph Goebbels.

We saw the people who in their heart of hearts believed the lies. 

It's a bad combination: the manipulators of the truth, evil men and women, and those that believe.
