Who said success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan?
The Original
Inquissima haec bellorum condicio est: prospera omnes sibi indicant, aduersa uni imputantur
Tacitus, Agricola 27:1 (written ~ 98AD) [1]
Rough translation:
This is an unfair thing about war: victory is claimed by all, failure to one alone
