Genghis Khan
Mongol Empire founder
Sayings by Genghis Khan
I wish to die at home. Let not my end disarm you, and on no account weep for me, lest the enemy be warned of my death.
The pleasure and joy of man lies in treading down the rebel and conquering the enemy, in tearing him up by the root, in taking from him all that he has.
The greatest joy for a man is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them all they possess, to ride their horses, and to embrace their wives and daughters.
A man's greatest work is to conquer his enemies, to ride their horses, and seize their wealth, and to have their most delightful wives as his concubines.
Man's highest joy is in victory: to conquer one's enemies, to pursue them, to deprive them of their possessions, to make their beloved ones weep, to ride on their horses, and to embrace their wives and daughters.
Come and see the city of Bukhara! How the work of God's artisans has been thrown into the dust!
If you don't have a vision, you will perish.
My body is dead, but my nation must not die.
Know that you have to kill your enemies, destroy them, and take all they possess.
The purpose of war is to kill the enemy, not to reform him.
Be of one mind and one purpose.
The Mongol nation is a family of people who have been nurtured by the same mother and have been raised under the same sky.
As long as I live, I will rule.
The world is not enough. We must have the universe.
Forget your personal troubles and think of the common good.
Let us unite and establish one great nation.
I am sent from Heaven to conquer the world.
Victory is not won by numbers, but by the spirit of the army.
The day you cease to struggle, you cease to live.
My mission is to unite all the Mongols under one banner.
