I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.
To the victors belong the spoils.
History is written by the victors. The victors in daily life tend to be those who live longest.
I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history. There's no question that various victors throughout history have flat out lied about certain events or written themselves into things, and then you come along and you find out that this disproves that.
The victors in great wars have always been spiritually defeated by the conquered.
It is remarkable that this people, though unarmed, dares attack an armed foe; the infantry defy the cavalry, and by their activity and courage generally prove victors.
Even victors are by victories undone.
I think increasingly we want to read the history that wasn't written by the victors.
The so-called lessons of history are for the most part the rationalizations of the victors. History is written by the survivors.
I believe that history is written by the victors, but what about the vanquished? They also have a story to tell.
