WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT GENGHIS KHAN

He was a man of great steadfastness and sense of a heroic figure. I tell you that when he was elected King he ruled with such moderation and justice that he was loved and revered by all, almost as god rather than a ruler .. .. When he captured an empire, town or village by force of arms, he did not cause anyone to be killed, robbed or harmed, nor did her deprive them of their property.

--Il Milione, Marco Polo

I have experienced the sorrow of defeat. But Genghis Khan was never defeated.

--Napoleon

The noble king was call Genghis Khan,
Who in his time was of so great renown,

That there was nowhere in no region

So excellent a lord in all things.

--Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer
