From "Members of a New Race, Teachings of HIM Haile Selassie I":
Haile Selassie I is a lover of sports. From the laying of the foundation stone of Haile Selassie I Stadium, he quotes, “If health fails, teaching, knowledge, life itself, all comes to naught. It is indispensable, so have nothing to do with alcohol and avoid all things against which conscience speaks”…
InI would like to read the whole speech....anyone knows where to find it?
