The expression “all roads lead to Rome” is a modern rewording of several medieval expressions which are thought to have originated as a reference to the Militarium Aureum (Golden Milestone) and to Roman roads. The Golden Milestone was a monument erected by Augustus near the temple of Saturn in the forum, the heart of the city of Rome. All roads were considered to start from this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured from this point. The oldest record one of these expressions comes from Alain de Lille, a French theologian and poet who in 1175 wrote ‘A thousand roads lead men forever to Rome.” The oldest from in English comes dates from 1391, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Treatise on the Astrolabe (an essay on an instrument used by astronomers and navigators). He wrote: “Right as diverse pathes leden the folk the righte wey to Rome.” The meaning of theexpressionis, different paths can lead to the same goal.

'All roads lead to Rome' speech?
I don't think that there is any one speech that invented that saying. Nor is there any famous speeches that use it jumping to mind. I do know, though, that this was a famous saying in the Roman Empire. Rome had an amazing road system starting from all of its gates going to every city they ruled. So they said 'all roads lead to Rome', because anyone living in the Roman Empire could get there on a stone road.
