The phrase "To the victor belong the spoils" means that the winner of a competition or conflict is entitled to the rewards or benefits of their victory. It is often used to emphasize the idea that success brings rewards and the winner gets to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The original quotation was "to the victor belong the spoils" and was said by American Senator William L. Marcy, justifying the incredibly corrupt policies of President Andrew Jackson.

Senator William I Marcy supported Andrew Jackson's replacement of John Quincy Adam's appointees by referring to the idea that "to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy." So, in a sense, Jackson created the "spoils system" of political patronage.
