His Imperial Majesty Quadamawi Haile Selassie I and Her Royal Highness Empress Woizero Menen I were crowned 81yrs ago on this day. Because of this, I want today to be dedicated to meditating on the value of a blessed and ROYAL union and on the importance of leading a virtuous and honorable lifestyle…May the Most High Bless It!

It is by the combined use of the mind and the hand that crude material is changed into an article of beauty and value." -June 12, 1963 [Bahar Dar Technical School]
"As is commonly said, ‘to start anything is simple; to develop it and bring it to a successful culmination takes great effort.’" - July 2, 1963 [University Graduation]
