Words That Have Changed History
The right words at the right time have the power to inspire, persuade,
comfort
or motivate. As one who writes for others, I find that most compelling
messages
are made up of simple, powerful words -- the right words.
The quotes below are words that have
inspired others to move forward, hold firm or change beliefs.
"For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes
in Him should not perish but should have
everlasting life."
--John
3:16
"Duty is the sublimest word in the
English language."
--
General Robert E. Lee
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for
you--ask what you can do for your country."
--
President John F. Kennedy
"This great Nation will endure as it
has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me
assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear
itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed
efforts to convert retreat into advance."
--
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
"I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We
hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit
down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day
even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat
of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of
freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day
live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their
skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today."
-- The
Rev. Martin Luther King
"Let us therefore brace ourselves to
our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its
Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was
their finest hour."
--Sir
Winston Churchill
