History will be kind to me for I intend to write it

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.

Tell them from me they are unloading history.

History is written by the victors.

For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.
