Andrew's Reading List of Great Speeches

Hey friends! Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I like to read inspirational speeches. Here are a few of my favorites.

"I Have a Dream"

Martin Luther King Jr. (1963)

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

JFK's Inaugural Address

John F. Kennedy (1961)

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you
--ask what you can do for your country.

"House Divided" Speech

Abraham Lincoln (1858)

A house divided against itself, cannot stand.

I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free.

I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
