If one seeks to analyze experiences and reactions to the first postwar years, I hope one may say without being accused of bias that it is easier for the victor than for the vanquished to advocate peace.

Gustav Stresemann

We may say that on the first Good Friday afternoon was completed that great act by which light conquered darkness and goodness conquered sin. That is the wonder of our Saviour's crucifixion. There have been victories all over the world, but wherever we look for the victor we expect to find him with his heel upon the neck of the vanquished. The wonder of Good Friday is that the victor lies vanquished by the vanquished one. We have to look deeper into the very heart and essence of things before we can see how real the victory is that thus hides itself under the guise of defeat.

Phillips Brooks

In human history a moral victory is always a disaster, for it debauches and degrades both the victor and the vanquished.

H. L. Mencken

One is either judge or accused. The judge sits, the accused stands. Live on your feet.

Jean Cocteau

The victor is often vanquished by his own success.

Friedrich Schiller

Victor and vanquished never unite in substantial agreement.

Tacitus

The victor is not victorious if the vanquished does not consider himself so

Quintus Ennius

It would be a joke if the conduct of the victor had to be justified to the vanquished.

Napoleon Bonaparte

It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored; for the vanquished it is necessary.

Seneca the Younger

All wars eventually act as boomerangs and the victor suffers as much as the vanquished.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Against war it may be said that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished revengeful.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My brothers and sisters, we are all winners. In this context there is no victor and no vanquished. We have demonstrated, even in our diversity, the progress of Nigeria remains paramount for all.

Goodluck Jonathan

In modern war there is no such thing as victor and vanquished... There is only a loser, and the loser is mankind.

U Thant

Justice has nothing to do with victor nations and vanquished nations, but must be a moral standard that all the world's peoples can agree to. To seek this and to achieve it - that is true civilization.

Hideki Tojo

My wish for the American woman is that she may always be an elevating influence-man's inspiration. Let him go forth to duty while she weaves the spell which makes home a paradise to which he may return, ever welcome, whether he is victor or vanquished.

Rutherford B. Hayes
