Famous Speeches

"Dirty Hands" by John P. Delaney SJ is a collection of oration speeches that discuss morality and ethical dilemmas faced by individuals in society. Delaney explores the complexities of moral decision-making and the consequences of our actions on others. Through his speeches, he encourages listeners to reflect on their values and the impact of their choices on the world around them.

There are mixed opinions on Thomas Edison's character. While he was a prolific inventor and businessman, some criticize his methods, such as taking credit for others' work or mistreating employees. Ultimately, whether Edison was a "bad person" is subjective and open to interpretation.

The phrase "any publicity is good publicity" is often attributed to the Irish playwright and critic Brendan Behan. This controversial statement suggests that even negative attention can still be beneficial in terms of raising awareness and generating interest.

There are many ways to give thanks for a church Harvest and Thanksgiving. One could simply say how thankful they are for everything they have been granted, for everyone who had been able to attend, the good health of their family and friends, and so much more. It is generally best to put some thought into it, and say the things that they are generally happy and grateful for.

"Well, that takes the cake", a response of dismay when someone has done something unworthy that you don't expect of them.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too", advice for someone who expects to have the whole benefit of something even after they used it, enjoyed it, or consumed it.

"They're selling like hotcakes!", simply means that something is selling far more quickly than excepted; sales are robust.

"Let them eat cake!", a response attributed to Marie Antoinette when advised that her people were starving and had no bread. It is used to deride a public official or other authority figure who appears indifferent to the needs of those who look to them for help.

"A piece of cake!", a response to a task assigned or description of a task completed that may seem extremely difficult, but not to the person saying it.

An example of a memorized speech could be a graduation commencement address, where the speaker has rehearsed and memorized their speech in advance to deliver it confidently and without referring to notes or a script.

The best way to answer this question is to put it into an every day example.......

Two guys (A and B) are at a bar and they both see a female celebrity with her girlfriends at the bar. Male A is too itimidated, shy and full of fear to go up to them. He fears rejection. Male B has the same feelings as male A but goes up to the group of girls anyways because he realizes that that his biggest fear (rejection) is not as important as the opportunity to hang out with that female celebrity and maybe even develop a relationship---- something much more important than the simple fear of getting rejected.

This is the best you got? How about on 9/11 when all the police, fire, ems personnel were running into the WTC when everyone else is running out? Or how about the soldier who tosses himself on a live grenade to save the lives of his fellow soldiers?

Sally Ride was famous for being the first AMERICAN women in space, marring Steven Hawley which made the the first married astronauts, and for being the youngest astronaut in space.

First, the speech should be easily heard and understood -- pace that is neither slow nor too fast, loud enough without background echoes or other impediment. At times, accents can be difficult to listen to, but if the other features are managed, it isn't so bad. Second, I would say that the information the speaker is providing should be interesting and not just a repetition of a list or powerpoint. I think the best speakers I have ever heard have rehearsed their speech a few times before giving it, so that the language is appealing to the ear, not just in written form.

The famous anti-war speech of 1967 was delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4 at Riverside Church in New York City. In it, he condemned the Vietnam War, linking it to issues of racial injustice and poverty. King emphasized the moral imperative to oppose the war, arguing that it diverted resources from social programs and harmed both American and Vietnamese lives. This speech marked a significant moment in the civil rights movement and solidified King's stance against militarism.

Wealth without work

Pleasure without conscience

Science without humanity

Knowledge without character

Politics without principle

Commerce without morality

Worship without sacrifice."

William Jennings Bryan was a fiery speaker renowned for his "Cross of Gold" speech, delivered at the Democratic National Convention in 1896. This passionate address advocated for the free coinage of silver, which he believed would benefit the working class and farmers. Bryan's oratory skills and compelling rhetoric helped him secure the Democratic nomination for president that year. His speech remains a significant moment in American political history.

What I know about Money Problems is that it means that you don't have much money. Like a person can have money problems. It also means that you are having a hard time earning money, that you don't have mych work and that its very difficult to get money. (sorry if this doesn't help)

It basically means that if you listen to a person you are giving them your attention and your time so you value what they have to say so that's better than basically trying to imitate (to copy) them.

This is the text of it:

Poblacht na h Éireann.

The Provisional Government

of the

Irish Republic

To the people of Ireland.

IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.

Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and, supported by her exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory.

We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people. In every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty: six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms. Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades-in-arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and its exaltation among the nations.

The Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the allegiance of every Irishman and Irishwoman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.

Until our arms have brought the opportune moment for the establishment of a permanent National Government, representative of the whole people of Ireland and elected by the suffrages of all her men and women, the Provisional Government, hereby constituted, will administer the civil and military affairs of the Republic in trust for the people.

We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

'Gratia gratiam parit' the motto loosely translated into friendship begets friendship or kindness begets kindness is found in the Adagia of Erasmus. Erasmus being Desiderius Erasmus or Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536).
