Famous quotes containing the word speeches:

    “The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “When we come down into the distant village, visible from the mountain-top, the nobler inhabitants with whom we peopled it have departed, and left only vermin in its desolate streets. It is the imagination of poets which puts those brave speeches into the mouths of their heroes.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
