From Wikiquote

At military exercises I am always in front, and in time of battle am never behind. In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work, and uniting the whole world in one empire.

Genghis Khan (c.1162 - 1227-08-18), born Temüjin, founded and ruled the Mongol Empire, after unifying the Central Asian tribes. He is also known as the first Great Khan or Khagan (Khan of Khans).

I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
