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.

The merit in action lies in finishing it to the end.

There is no good in anything until it is finished.

Come and sip from the cup of destruction.

It is not sufficient that I succeed - all others must fail.

If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

I am the punishment of God. If you have not committed sins then God wouldn't have sent me.
