"Did you ever see a chameleon catch a fly? The chameleon gets behind the fly and remains motionless for some time, then he advances very slowly and gently, first putting forward one leg and then the other. At last, when well within reach, he darts his tongue and the fly disappears. England is the chameleon and I am that fly." <br />— '''''Lobengula'''''<ref name="Parsons1993">{{cite book|last=Parsons|first=Neil |title=A New History of Southern Africa|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PVYqAAAACAAJ|edition=2nd|year=1993|publisher=Macmillan Press|location=London|isbn=978-0-8419-5319-2}}</ref>-->
