Quote by Jack Weatherford

“The Mongols did not find honor in fighting; they found honor in winning. They had a single goal in every campaign—total victory. Toward this end, it did not matter what tactics were used against the enemy or how the battles were fought or avoided being fought. Winning by clever deception or cruel trickery was still winning and carried no stain on the bravery of the warriors, since there would be plenty of other occasions for showing prowess on the field.”

You're on my boat, you follow my orders." "As I remember, I brought the boat." "Yes, thanks for bringing my boat.”
