Cecil Rhodes Man and Empire-Maker Quotes

“One could not help liking him and one could not avoid hating him; and sometimes one hated him when one liked himmost”
― Catherine Radziwill, Cecil Rhodes Man and Empire-Maker

“The end of all this was that Rhodes resented the truth when it was told him, and detested any who showed independence of judgement or appreciation in matters concerning his affairs and projects. A man supposed to have an iron will, yet he was weak almost to childishness in regard to these flattering satellite. It amused him to have always at beck and call people willing ready to submit to his insults, to bear with his fits of bad temper, and to accept every humiliation which he chose to offer.”
― Catherine Radziwill, Cecil Rhodes Man and Empire-Maker
