“Uma casa construída sobre granito e bases fortes, nem a investida de chuva torrencial, jorrar torrentes e ventos fortes será capaz de derrubar. Algumas pessoas têm escrito a história da minha vida representando como verdade o que de fato deriva da ignorância, erro ou inveja; mas não podem abalar a verdade do seu lugar, mesmo que eles tentam fazer os outros acreditar.”

“Peço aos cinquenta e duas nações, que têm dado o povo etíope uma promessa para ajudá-los na resistência para o agressor, o que eles estão dispostos a fazer para a Etiópia? E as grandes potências que prometeram, a garantia de segurança colectiva para pequenos estados sobre os quais pesa a ameaça de que um dia poderão sofrer o mesmo destino da Etiópia, peço que medidas que pretende tomar?”

“É óbvio que fomos jovens. Não nascemos velhos! Temos sido uma criança, um menino, um jovem, um adulto, e finalmente um homem velho. Como todos os outros. Nosso Senhor, o criador fez-nos como toda a gente. Talvez deseja saber que tipo de juventude éramos. Bem estávamos muito sério, muito diligente, muito obediente a juventude. Fomos às vezes punido, mas você sabe por que? Porque o que fomos feitos para estudo não parecem suficientes e quisemos estudar mais. Queríamos ficar na escola depois das aulas tinham acabado. Estávamos com medo de nos divertirmos, para andar de cavalo, para jogar. Não queríamos desperdiçar tempo com jogos.”

Já que ninguém pode interferir no reino de Deus devemos tolerar e viver lado a lado com os de outras religiões.”

“Não se pode negar que em tempos que a vida do homem que tinha sido um de labuta e sofrimento. É correto dizer, portanto, que a civilização moderna e o progresso da ciência melhoraram muito a vida do homem e trouxeram conforto e facilidade na sua trilha. Mas a civilização pode servir homem tanto para o bem como para fins maléficos. A experiência mostra que tem invariavelmente trouxe grandes dividendos para aqueles que o usam para fins de bom enquanto tem sempre trouxe prejuízos incalculáveis e condenação para aqueles que usam isso para fins maléficos. Para fazer as nossas vontades obedientes às boas influências e evitar o mal, portanto, é mostrar o maior sabedoria. A fim de acompanhar este objectivo deve ser guiada pela religião. Progresso sem religião é como uma vida cercada de perigos desconhecidos e pode ser comparada a um corpo sem alma. Todas as invenções humanas, desde as mais primitivas moderna ferramenta para o átomo, podem ajudar homem grandemente nos seus empenhos pacífica. Mas, se forem usados para fins maléficos. Eles têm a capacidade de aniquilar a raça humana a partir da superfície da terra. É só quando a mente humana é guiado pela religião e moral que o homem pode adquirir a visão necessária para colocar toda sua ingênua invenções e artimanhas para realmente útil e benéfico fins.”

“May it be taken as Divine significance, that, as We mark the passing of the Nazi Reich, in America at San Francisco, delegates from all United Nations, among whose number Ethiopia stands, are now met together for their long-planned conference to lay foundations for an international pact to banish war and to maintain World Peace.”

Haile Selassie

V. E. Day proclamation (8 May 1945) http://www.jah-rastafari.com/selassie-words/show-jah-word.asp?word_id=declar_ve.
Contexto: May it be taken as Divine significance, that, as We mark the passing of the Nazi Reich, in America at San Francisco, delegates from all United Nations, among whose number Ethiopia stands, are now met together for their long-planned conference to lay foundations for an international pact to banish war and to maintain World Peace. Our Churches pray for the successful triumph of this conference. Without success in this, the Victory, We celebrate today, the suffering that We have all endured will be of no avail.
To win the War, to overcome the enemy upon the fields cannot alone ensure the Victory in Peace. The cause of War must be removed. Each Nation's rights must be secure from violation. Above all, from the human mind must be erased all thoughts of War as a solution. Then and then only will War cease.

“The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man”

Help us translate this quote

Haile Selassie

Address to the United Nations (1963)
Contexto: The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man: abjugation of force in the settlement of disputes between states; the assurance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion; the safeguarding of international peace and security.
But these, too, as were the phrases of the Covenant, are only words; their value depends wholly on our will to observe and honour them and give them content and meaning. The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act — and if necessary, to suffer and die — for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.
These lessons must be learned anew by each succeeding generation, and that generation is fortunate indeed which learns from other than its own bitter experience. This Organization and each of its members bear a crushing and awesome responsibility: to absorb the wisdom of history and to apply it to the problems of the present, in order that future generations may be born, and live, and die, in peace.

“Knowing that material and spiritual progress are essential to man, we must ceaselessly work for the equal attainment of both.”

Help us translate this quote

Haile Selassie

Interview in The Voice of Ethiopia (5 April 1948).
Contexto: The progress of science can be said to be harmful to religion only in so far as it is used for evil aims and not because it claims a priority over religion in its revelation to man. It is important that spiritual advancement must keep pace with material advancement. When this comes to be realized man's journey toward higher and more lasting values will show more marked progress while the evil in him recedes into the background. Knowing that material and spiritual progress are essential to man, we must ceaselessly work for the equal attainment of both. Only then shall we be able to acquire that absolute inner calm so necessary to our well-being.
It is only when a people strike an even balance between scientific progress and spiritual and moral advancement that it can be said to possess a wholly perfect and complete personality and not a lopsided one.

Haile Selassie

Speech on Leadership in Speeches Delivered on Various Occasions, May 1957-December 1959 (1960), p. 138.
Contexto: The art of leadership is in the ability to make people want to work for you, while they are really under no obligation to do so. Leaders are people, who raise the standards by which they judge themselves and by which they are willing to be judged. The goal chosen, the objective selected, the requirements imposed, are not mainly for their followers alone.
They develop with consumate energy and devotion, their own skill and knowledge in order to reach the standard they themselves have set.
This whole-hearted acceptance of the demands imposed by even higher standards is the basis of all human progress. A love of higher quality, we must remember, is essential in a leader.

Contexto: In time of war it suits the enemy to aim his guns at adorned shields, ornaments, silver and gold cloaks, silk shirts and all similar things. Whether one possesses a jacket or not, it is best to wear a narrow-sleeved shirt with faded colours. When we return, with God's help, you can wear your gold and silver decorations then. Now it is time to go and fight. We offer you all these words of advice in the hope that no great harm should befall you through lack of caution. At the same time, We are glad to assure you that in time of war We are ready to shed Our blood in your midst for the sake of Ethiopia's freedom...

“How different in 1963 are the attitudes of men. We then existed in an atmosphere of suffocating pessimism. Today, cautious yet buoyant optimism is the prevailing spirit. But each one of us here knows that what has been accomplished is not enough. The United Nations judgments have been and continue to be subject to frustration, as individual member-states have ignored its pronouncements and disregarded its recommendations. The Organization's sinews have been weakened, as member states have shirked their obligations to it. The authority of the Organization has been mocked, as individual member-states have proceeded, in violation of its commands, to pursue their own aims and ends.”

Interview with Bill McNeil, as quoted in Transform Your World Through the Powers of Your Mind (2009) by Jawara D. King, p. 295

“The temple of the most high begins with the human body, which houses our life, essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through Religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors. We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually.
Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny. A people without a nation they can really call their own is a people without a soul. Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within her. When African righteous people come together, the world will come together. This is our divine destiny.”
