Shaka Zulu
Zulu Kingdom founder
Sayings by Shaka Zulu
The white men are like ants; they come in numbers, but they are easily crushed.
My kingdom will be built on the bones of those who defy me.
A true warrior fights until his last breath.
I am the one who brings the dawn and the dusk.
The spear has no branches.
A nation cannot be built on milk alone.
The hyenas will laugh when they hear of this.
I will make the Zulu name feared from the mountains to the sea.
You are like a woman who plants but never harvests.
The lion does not turn around when a small dog barks.
A king who does not lead his army is no king.
The wind does not break a tree that bends.
The Zulu are not a people, they are a weapon.
If you fear death, you are already dead.
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.
Women that bear children must exist in Zululand only.
Are you stabbing me, kings of the earth? You will come to an end through killing one another.
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!
Never leave an enemy behind, or it will rise again to fly at your throat!
