“History is written by the winners.”

“The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies”

“History is a set of lies agreed upon.”

“History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.”

“If we could read the past histories of all our enemies we would disregard all hostility for them.”

“To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.”

“Es gibt keine andere Unsterblichkeit als die Erinnerung, die man im Geiste der Menschen zurücklässt.”
