More quotes by Haile Selassie
It is important that spiritual advancement must keep pace with material advancement.
Haile Selassie
If a strong government finds that it can, with impunity, destroy a weak people, then the hour has struck for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment.
Haile Selassie
We must make progress slowly so as to preserve the progress we have already made.
Haile Selassie
Our youth must be steadfast and take advantage of the benefits of modern civilization. Do not fall prey to idleness for it shall be a curse to you and to succeeding generations. You must set yourselves us as examples of determination and hard work. Plan your time and use both your physical and mental powers purposefully and productively.
Haile Selassie
The fruits of one’s sweat and mental labour are always rewarding
Haile Selassie

Haile Selassie
We have finished the job. What shall we do with the tools?
Haile Selassie
A well organized education should not be one which prepares students for a good remuneration alone. It should be one that can help and guide them towards acquiring clear thinking, a fruitful mind, and an elevated spirit.
Haile Selassie
It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.
Haile Selassie
A house built on granite and strong foundations, not even the onslaught of pouring rain, gushing torrents and strong winds will be able to pull down.
Haile Selassie
This world was not created piecemeal. Africa was born no later and no earlier than any other geographical area on this globe. Africans, no more and no less than other men, possess all human attributes, talents and deficiencies, virtues and faults.
Haile Selassie
No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge the ways of God.
Haile Selassie
A good leader... maintains a balance between emotional drive and sound thinking.
Haile Selassie
Imagination, devotion, perseverance, together with divine grace, will assure your success.
Haile Selassie
Feel the needs of others more than your own.
Haile Selassie
Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ.
Haile Selassie
Education develops the intellect and the intellect distinguishes man from other creatures. It is education that enables man to harness nature and utilize her resources for the well-being and improvement of his life
Haile Selassie
An awareness of our past is essential to the establishment of our personality and our identity as Africans.
