Last Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974 with lineage tracing back to King Solomon and Queen Sheba and the Jewish emperor of Ethiopia Menelik I.

During world war II Selassie fled to England where he became a allied propagandist. And was reinstated by the British as the emporer of Ethiopia to be overthrown in 1974.

In 1975 he died under suspicious circumstances. The post-communist government denied him a royal funeral.

Selassie is seen as a messsiah/holy person to the rastafarian faith.

Quotes by Haile Selassie I (?)

“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”

- Popularized by Bob Marley in the song War”

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

“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. The key for the betterment and completeness of modern living is education. But, ' Man cannot live by bread alone '. Man, after all, is also composed of intellect and soul. Therefore, education in general, and higher education in particular, must aim to provide, beyond the physical, food for the intellect and soul. That education which ignores man's intrinsic nature, and neglects his intellect and reasoning power can not be considered true education.”
