[Plutarch]

Conan's summary of what is good in life: "To crush your enemy. See him driven before you. To hear the lamentations of the C-SPAN women." ...and, besides, he plagiarized the line anyway.

The quote was plagarized from Genghis Khan:

While still in his formative years as a rising chieftain, he once asked some friends what the greatest pleasure was. After they variously answered hunting, falconry, or archery, Genghis is reputed to have said:

"The greatest joy a man can know is to conquer his enemies and drive them before him. To ride their horses and take away their possessions. To see the faces of those who were dear to them bedewed with tears, and to clasp their wives and daughters in his arms"

[Enterprise]

Genghis was History's first true Democrat.

"The quote was plagarized from Genghis Khan"

Goldberg notes it was plagiarized, although not the source. I would be interested to see where you found that quote; I find the prospect of Genghis using words like "bedewed", or, for that matter, compound sentences, pretty humourous. It just smacks of historical embellishment.

It was also in the "Conan" movie about 20 years ago... starred "Ahn-old", and was the first "big" thing he was in....
