- I have found a Genghis-Khan quote, that I really like. I found in a
- Danish encyclopedia, and this is my translation into English. If anyone
- know of any better, more direct translation into English, I would be very
- glad to see it.

- "Man's greatest joy is to slay his enemy, plunder his riches,
- ride his steeds, see the tears of his loved ones and embrace his women.
