Robert Mugabe

My party must rule, and rule for ever.

Cows may come and cows may go, but the Limpopo river will always flow.

If you are a man, you must be a man. If you are a woman, you must be a woman. We don't want these in-between things.

I am not a violent man. I am a man of peace. But if you provoke me, I can be very violent.

Don't be afraid to be unique. Don't be afraid to be different. Don't be afraid to be yourself.

I am an educated man. I have seven degrees. I am not a fool.

We are masters of our destiny.

If you are a good leader, you must be prepared to step on some toes.

I will never abandon my people. I will never betray my country.

Let Britain keep its Queen. We will keep our land.

Africa for Africans.

They say I am a dictator. But I am a constitutional dictator.

We are not going to be intimidated by anyone. We are a sovereign nation.

I am not a saint. I am a politician.

The land is our heritage. It is our birthright.

We will never go back to colonial rule.

I have been in power for a long time, but I am still strong.

The West wants to recolonize us. But we will resist.

Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans.

I am not afraid of sanctions. I am not afraid of anything.
