A man's greatest moment in life is when his enemy lays vanquished, his village aflame, his herds driven before you and his weeping wives and daughters are clasped to your breast.

The strength of walls depends on the courage of those who guard them.

In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work and uniting the whole world in one Empire.

A man's greatest work is to break his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them all the things that have been theirs, to hear the weeping of those who cherished them, to take their horses between his knees and to press in his arms the most desirable of their women.

It is easy to conquer the world from the back of a horse.
