| Selected Speeches |
When today is being opened this University College, Our feeling of joy has
two motivations, Our happiness is of two kinds. These are private and
common. Happiness shared with many creates a source of permanent
affection and understanding. But private happiness is a temporary matter.
Our endeavour to expand schools has passed from planning to
achievement. Our satisfaction in the field of education is in Our days
being shared by the Ethiopian people, and particularly by those who have
and are profiting by it.
Thus, Our saying that this would benefit Ethiopia is now being increased
greatly. As has been pointed out by Our Vice-Minister, work on the
University is progressing rapidly. To make successful the work of those
educational institutions of higher education, aid of the students and
teachers is needed. We hope that the preparation of students and teachers
is nearing completion.
We are proud to see Ethiopian youth thirsting for learning. Although the
fruits of education can be applied to evil as well as to good things, you
Ethiopian students should avoid having a bad reputation and be eager and
energetic in your studies, be loyal to your country and obedient to your
teachers, eschew lies and follow truth, respect good and be heirs of good
work...
