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.
Abba Eban
To the victors belong the spoils.
Andrew Jackson
History is written by the victors. The victors in daily life tend to be those who live longest.
David Hepworth
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.
David S. Goyer
The victors in great wars have always been spiritually defeated by the conquered.
George William Russell
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.
Giraldus Cambrensis
You are victors, not victims!
Joel Osteen
Even victors are by victories undone.
John Dryden
I think increasingly we want to read the history that wasn't written by the victors.
Kate Williams
The so-called lessons of history are for the most part the rationalizations of the victors. History is written by the survivors.
Max Lerner
The freedom fighters in India's long struggle for independence from British rule, or members of the African National Congress, were once classed as terrorists. History, as they say, is written by victors, but history also has many cunning corridors - how much time must elapse before all those tricky side-passages are revealed?
Neel Mukherjee
I believe that history is written by the victors, but what about the vanquished? They also have a story to tell.
Puneet Issar
We proved that the aggressors do not necessarily emerge as the victors, but we learned that the victors do not necessarily win peace.
Shimon Peres
