I lost this wonderful website full of speeches both American and European in origin. I wanted to look some up but I cannot find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? (I know it has a few Otto von Bismarck speeches offhand)

Also, what are your favorite speeches? Nixon and "Checkers"? Blood and Iron? Clinton's "I have sinned"? :D

Me, I like Blood and Iron, and Napoleon's Farewell to the Old Guard.

Satan's speech tothe fallen right after the expulsion from heaven when they all lay battered in a lake of fire and on the brimestone shore, prostrate and broken...the speech is outstanding.

Obviously taken form Milton's Paradise Lost

I read that for literature class in high school. Paradise Lost was really good, even though I didn't read all of it. I <3 Satan.
