One of the joys of travel is visiting new towns and meeting new people.

With Heaven's aid I have conquered for you a huge empire. But my life was too short to achieve the conquest of the world. That task is left for you

Heaven is weary of the luxury of China. I shall remain in the wilderness of the north. I shall return to simplicity and moderations once again. As for the clothes I wear and the food I eat, I shall have the same as cowherds and grooms and I shall treat my soldiers as brothers. In a hundred battles I have been at the forefront and within seven years I have performed a great work, for in six directions of space all things are subject to one ruler.

If you're afraid - don't do it, - if you're doing it - don't be afraid!

All who surrender will be spared; whoever does not surrender but opposes with struggle and dissension, shall be annihilated.

Those who were adept and brave fellows I have made military commanders. Those who were quick and nimble I have made herders of horses. Those who were not adept I have given a small whip and sent to be shepherds

Heaven has appointed me to rule all the nations, for hitherto there has been no order upon the steppes.
