Quotes

• “Strike an enemy once and for all. Let him cease to exist as a tribe or he will live to fly in your throat again.”
• “Up! children of Zulu, your day has come. Up! And destroy them all.”
• “I need no bodyguard at all, for even the bravest men who approach me get weak at the knees and their hearts turn to water, whilst their heads become giddy and incapable of thinking as the sweat of fear paralyzes them. They know no other will except that of their King, who is something above, and below, this earth.”
• “Women that bear children must exist in Zululand only.”
