Famously, in 1982 cult classic Conan the Barbarian (featuring then bodybuilder turned actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first starring role), Conan is asked: 'What is best in life?' His response: 'To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.'
His response, of course, is greeted with raucous cheering since he's in the presence of nomadic warriors, and for them military might is a great virtue within this community.
