Genghis Khan

Remember, upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

In war, the key is not to fear the enemy, but to understand him.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Let your plans be as dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

The wise warrior avoids the battle.

To rule the world, first rule yourself.

Enemies are made by weakness, not by strength.

A good leader inspires, a great leader takes a lesson from the past.

The empire's foundation is in justice and mercy.

Unity is the strength that binds the tribes.

Knowledge is the key to conquest.

Govern with wisdom, conquer with courage.

The horse is the wing of the warrior.

Peace comes from strength, not from weakness.

A ruler must be feared and loved.

The past is a guide to the future.

Loyalty is earned through fair rule.

In the council of war, silence is golden.

The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.
