But it definitely had an impact and is still used widely with the "wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?" quote. I think its easier to blame hitler for everything but the germans back then supported his wars and crimes more than they would ever admit. | ||

 But also any speech from Nick Vujicic is great, he is an Australian motivational speaker with no arms or legs. But also who could forget Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" or "I have been to the mountaintop" | ||

Then listen to this, in the period between when the HoR first said No to the bank bailouts, and then days later passed it. This takes honest to god, real life, fucking balls. Truth. | ||

The fact that any part of it is pre-written or fake shouldn't matter when obviously movie scenes count. | ||

Camillus of the ancient Roman Republic's speech after Rome is sacked by the Gauls is also a momentous speech in history. Livy wrote it down in the early history of Rome. He convinced the Romans to stay in Rome instead of move to Veii, which was a city Rome had just defeated which was nice and not just-ransacked like Rome was. He convinced them by saying if they left, that would be admitting defeat. And so the Roman Republic didn't dissolve in 380 BC, thank you Camillus for all the great history that has happened since then. | ||
