Christiaan Rudolf de Wet Quotations

Naturally our Government would not consent to such terms, and so the war had to proceed.

These deserters were our undoing. I shall have a good deal more to say about them before I finally lay down my pen, and I shall not hesitate to call them by their true name, the name with which they will be for ever branded before all the nations of the world.

For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies.

The condition of the wounded touched my heart deeply.
