Famous quotes containing the words key and/or speeches:

    “The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; the key to all ages is—Imbecility: imbecility in the vast majority of men, at all times, and even in heroes, in all but certain eminent moments: victims of gravity, customs and fear. This gives force to the strong,—that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions ... but by iron and blood.”
    —Otto Von Bismarck (1815–1898)
