Bodies Upon the Gears
November 16, 2011 12:01 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for some intense, inspiring speeches along the lines of Chaplin's The Great Dictator speech and Mario Savio's bodies upon the gears speech.
Eugene Debs: "Canton, Ohio" (read by Mark Ruffalo). It cost Debs ten years in prison, and is every bit as relevant now as it was in 1918.
It's not a speech, but I've also always found Bill Mandel's rebuke of the House Unamerican Activities Committee inspiring (especially the part that starts at 5:34.)

Two best speeches EVER:
1) Randy Pausch
2) Steve Jobs

First, you've got to get mad.
Maybe too funny for what you're looking for, but I find them inspiring:
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It just doesn't matter
