“The first key to leadership was self-control, particularly the mastery of pride, which was something more difficult, he explained, to subdue than a wild lion and anger, which was more difficult to defeat than the greatest wrestler. He warned them that "if you can't swallow your pride, you can't lead.”

“Despite his image as a bloody tyrant, Genghis was also forward thinking. His empire had the first international postal system, invented the concept of diplomatic immunity, and even allowed women in its councils. But more importantly, the Mongols were also unprecedented in their religious tolerance.”

“Khatun (queen) is one of the most authoritative and magnificent words in the Mongolian language. It conveys regality, stateliness, and great strength. If something resists breaking no matter how much pressure is applied, it is described as khatun. The word can form part of a boy鈥檚 or girl鈥檚 names, signifying power and firmness combined with beauty and grace. Because of the admitted qualities of khatun, men have often borne names such as Khatun Temur, literally 鈥楺ueen Iron鈥�, and Khatun Baatar, 'Queen Hero鈥�.”

“First, is the image, so far projected here, of Mongols draped in gilded cloth that would gladden the heart of a Liberace really true?”

“Hoelun stepped into her tent with thyme in her coatskirts that were hitched up in her belt, and leeks in her hat, that was off. The blue spire of bark she had worn as Yesugei's wife never left her, but often did more than perch on her head.”

“Quelque huit millions de personnes sont ainsi soumises par une arm茅e de trente mille cavaliers. Les historiens r茅futent aujourd鈥檋ui les r茅cits des contemporains sur les centaines de milliers de 芦 pa茂ens sauvages 禄, d茅truisant tout sur leur passage. La force principale des Mongols, leur 芦 bombe atomique 禄 est le cheval. Chaque cavalier se doit d鈥檈n poss茅der trois, un de rechange et un autre pour son bagage. Une arm茅e, f没t-elle de cent mille hommes (or, les chroniqueurs parlent de deux cent cinquante 脿 trois cent mille), aurait besoin d鈥檜ne quantit茅 de chevaux telle qu鈥檈lle ne pourrait trouver 脿 les nourrir que dans certaines r茅gions bien d茅limit茅es de l鈥檈mpire conquis. La premi猫re bataille opposant Russes et Tatars sur les bords de la Kalka s鈥檃ch猫ve, nous l鈥檃vons vu, par la victoire des envahisseurs. L鈥檜ne des raisons en est le petit nombre des guerriers mongols (trente mille) qui donne l鈥檌llusion aux arm茅es russo-polovtsiennes de la faiblesse ennemie. En cons茅quence, les princes n鈥檕nt pas besoin de s鈥檜nir ni de mener une action concert茅e. La faiblesse d茅mographique des Mongols exclut, de la m锚me fa莽on, qu鈥檌ls occupent les territoires conquis.”

“La langue russe a gard茅 pour toujours des termes financiers d鈥檕rigine tatare : kazna (tr茅sor), kaznatche茂 (tr茅sorier), tamojnia, tamga (douane), kabala (asservissement temporaire pour cause de dettes), kabak (茅tablissement autoris茅 脿 vendre des boissons alcoolis茅es). Sans oublier le mot diengui (l鈥檃rgent) et la d茅signation des pi猫ces de monnaie : kopeck, altyne. Le syst猫me fiscal mongol devait demeurer des si猫cles durant en Russie, sans 茅quivalent dans toute l鈥橢urope f茅odale.”

“During the thirteenth century Genoese traders in the Black Sea port of Caffa struck a deal to run slaves captured in the Caucasus by the Mongols to the Mamluk rulers of Egypt, shipping them to the Nile Delta via the Black Sea and Mediterranean, whereupon the slaves would be forcibly impressed into the Mamluk army. Effectively this meant that the Christian Genoese were directly responsible for supplying workers to a power that was doing its best to crush the western crusader states of Syria and Palestine.”

“It was all chaos, confusion and dust,
Head and eyes were flecked with blood,
Rocks crash through with a roar,
Among stupefying shrieks,
The Mongol Kalmak proceed.
Oshpur the shepherd lord
Scouts with eagle eyes
In search of the forty sons -
Smoke obscures.
Entering the fray,
Smoke-maned Manas is a panther
Loping toward his prey.”
