I get it that this quote is wrongly attributed to Voltaire. But since there is nothing new under the sun, it seems wrong that it is only a recent saying. Plus, since a lot of people attribute to Strom (who they call a nazi, white supremist, etc.), this comes off as a way to disqualify the truth of the saying. Is there an earlier attribution of the quote, other than Strom?

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