“Remember, you have no companions but your shadow.”

It is easy to conquer the world from the back of a horse.

Heaven has appointed me to rule all the nations, for hitherto there has been no order upon the steppes.

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

A man’s greatest moment in life is when his enemy lays vanquished, his village aflame, his herds driven before you and his weeping wives and daughters are clasped to your breast.

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.

A man’s greatest joy is crushing his enemies.

Those who were adept and brave fellows I have made military commanders. Those who were quick and nimble I have made herders of horses. Those who were not adept I have given a small whip and sent to be shepherds.

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

Come and sip from the cup of destruction.

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

Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.

In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work and uniting the whole world in one Empire.

In every enterprise is no greater evil than bad companionship.

Enjoy your own company instead of expecting someone else make you happy.

I love that my friends are sometimes even 20, 30 years older than me – that I can just sit and enjoy their company and their experiences.

I don’t create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.

Every man is like the company he wont to keep.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to plan to sell a company.

I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name.
