“The rise of Nubian civilization presents a story of rich resources, trade and conflict with Egypt, and even the conquest of Egypt, but what also makes a dramatic impression in this gallery are the striking Nubian traditions of craftsmanship—handmade, polished ceramic vessels, carnelian and garnet beads, and elaborate wood and leatherwork.”
Geoff Emberling

“He whose conquest is not conquered again.”
Friedrich Max Muller
“THE study of the Vedas is the highest type of learning since it leads to the conquest of Death. All other studies deal with the means of living or the surroundings which you have to live; they deal with earning and spending, deriving a little pleasure by this trick, escaping a little grief by that trick. The Vedas show the path to the Realm of Eternal Bliss, where there is no Birth or Death.”
Atharva Veda

Liberty Hyde Bailey
“First get an absolute conquest over thyself, and then thou wilt easily govern thy wife.”

“Peace is a battle. Peace is never given freely, never acquired. Its conquest is the result of courage and of respect for others. It demands awareness and commitment from everyone. Peace is not the law imposed by the mighty, but that which is founded on equality and dignity of all peoples.”
