I got a book of quotations from 1942 out. It is not amongst Voltaire's sayings. I cannot find it in the index either.

Guy lives in Alaska and has no doubt a lot of grief over the years for being a "nazi". Plus I read Strom likely got it from another guy, whose name escapes me at the moment.
I just think the phrase is older but now the powers that be have made sure almost all links to the phrase say a horrible bad think person did it. Because they can't have people thinking about who rules over them.

I'd say the best thing to do here is to follow it back to it's source because people genuinely don't know, the thing is though it rings true and requiring a statement to be qualified by the speaker's identity is suppression of free thought.
This is why true anonymity is so important. it forces people to face the challenge of a lone idea or statement, bald of greater ideology or politics.

Who care who said it.
Stop the Idolatry bullshit and focus on the truth no matter who says it.
