The Greatest Inspiration
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
There is something noble about those things that inspire you. I got this book because I speak for a living and wanted to read the words of some of the most articulate speakers of all time. When I got this book, I found a volume of inspiration beyond what I expected. There are, of course, the great speeches like MLK's "I have a dream" speech and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, but there are also a good number of jewels that most people haven't seen; like a brief submitted to the Supreme Court by Mother Theresa that made me think long and hard about a very tough subject and reexamine my stance somewhat. If you purchase this book, you won't be disappointed.
If you love history, you'll love this

This is a remarkable collection of famous speeches, as well as those that are not very well known. It is organized in chronological order, beginning with Moses and ending with Hilary Clinton. If you're looking to expand your knowledge of history, or simply looking to see what great speeches are made of, this is the book for you!
