He [Thutmose III] went to Asia with his army and killed the natives to his heart's content, and stole so much of their goods that Egypt was rolling in wealth for quite a while.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and can coast down them. ...
