Depends. If it's the full quote "Men still have to be governed by deception" that that would be:

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) who was a German scientist, satirist and Anglophile.

or


"Men are not governed by justice, but by law or persuasion. When they refuse to be governed by law or persuasion, they have to be governed by force or fraud, or both."
- George Bernard Shaw
