Riga 6:
:''When the facts of history are written Haile Selassie of Abyssinia will go down as a great coward who ran away from his country to save his skin and left the millions of his countrymen to struggle through a terrible war that he brought upon them because of his political ignorance and his racial disloyalty. [...] When the war started in Abyssinia all Negro nationalists looked with hope to Haile Selassie. They spoke for him, they prayed for him, they sung for him, they did everything to hold up his hands, as Aaron did for Moses; but whilst the Negro peoples of the world were praying for the success of Abyssinia this little Emperor was undermining the fabric of his own kingdom by playing the fool with white men, having them advising him having them telling him what to do, how to surrender, how to call off the successful thrusts of his Rases against the Italian invaders. Yes, they were telling him how to prepare his flight, and like an imbecilic child he followed every advice and then ultimately ran away from his country to England, leaving his people to be massacred by the Italians, and leaving the serious white world to laugh at every Negro and repeat the charge and snare — "he is incompetent," "we told you so." Indeed Haile Selassie has proved the incompetence of the Negro for political authority, but thank God there are Negroes who realise that Haile Selassie did not represent the truest qualities of the Negro race.''<ref>Citato in "The Failure of Haile Selassie as Emperor", ''The Blackman'' (aprile 1937)</ref>
*Posso darvi un consiglio affinché comprendiate realmente la natura vostra e della vostra vita, cosicché possiate avere la stessa gloria e successo di altri uomini che comprendono sé stessi? L'uomo che comprende appieno la sua natura è una superba e suprema creatura del Creato. Quando un uomo ha consapevolezza di sé, diventa il dominatore del suo ambiente, il timoniere della sua nave, il direttore del suo destino, il responsabile degli obiettivi a cui giunge.
:''May I say something to you to give you a true knowledge of yourself and life, so that the same glory and success obtained by other men who understand themselves may be yours? Man in the full knowledge of himself is a superb and supreme creature of creation. When man becomes possessor of the knowledge of himself, he becomes master of his environment, the captain of his own ship, the director of his own destiny, the accomplisher of his own ends.
*Io sono uguale a qualsiasi uomo bianco e voglio che tu ti senta allo stesso modo. (citato in AA.VV., ''Il libro della politica'', traduzione di Sonia Sferzi, Gribaudo, 2018, p. 252. ISBN 9788858019429)
