Great moments in oratory

Abraham Lincoln: “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right—let us strive on to finish the work we are in.”

Winston Churchill: “This is no war for domination or imperial aggrandisement or material gain. … It is a war … to establish, on impregnable rocks, the rights of the individual and it is a war to establish and revive the stature of man.”

John Kerry: “That status of war led me to find it impossible to suggest I wouldn't want to blow Osama bin Laden's brains out and treat him as an enemy.”
