There is no good in anything until it is finished.

My life was too short to acheive the conquest of the whole world.

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

One arrow alone can be easily broken but many arrows are indestructible.

Not even a mighty warrior can break a frail arrow when it is multiplied and supported by its fellows. As long as you brothers support one another and render assistance to one another, your enemies can never gain the victory over you. But if you fall away from each other your enemy can brake you like frail arrows, one at a time.

Come and sip from the cup of destruction.

I hate luxury. I exercise moderation…It will be easy to forget your vision and purpose one you have fine clothes, fast horses and beautiful women. [In which case], you will be no better than a slave, and you will surely lose everything.
