He left a lasting legacy on Chinese history through his political and cultural unification efforts. Here are 2 of his quotes:

The reason why All-under-Heaven suffers bitterly from endless wars is because of the existence of feudal lords and kings. A reliance on ancestral temples initially brought stability, but the revival of states results in the spread of soldiers. Doing so will never bring about stability!
