    Reminiscent of JFK's "as not what you can do for your country...". Absolutely love this moving & inspirational speech.

    Read this. Imagine a world where speeches were this great.

    A future PM with one of finest war speeches in our history: “I want you to forget it is I who am standing here. And I want you to see instead Bob Davey. And behind him I want you to see an army; regiment on regiment of young men, dead.”

    What a great speech. Outlining the foundations of our free prosperous post war society. All our action, particularly of government should be measured here first

    30 years on. Might be Clive James’ last . This speech is as good as any commemoration. “This was a harvest of our tallest poppies’

    My clever can make you laugh (and maybe tear up a little bit at the same time).

    "There are 58,000 Jews living in Melbourne, and six of them live in a little shtetel called Preston. I am one of those six Jews. I’m what is known as a fabled Jew of the North." Great storytelling. on 'coming out' as a Jew.

    Powerful speech. Passages on how to live just as relevant today as in 1946.

    We now have the full text of John Gorton's incredible 1946 speech about why the war was fought, and what we had to do to repay our debt to the dead. Just incredible. Rated by as 'Australia's greatest unknown political speech'.

    Fabulous. Better than a bowl of chicken soup and fluffy matzo balls.

    "There was a harvest of our tallest poppies. A bitter harvest." Clive James's 1988 speech at Battersea is so beautiful.

    To any fans on reddit, love it if you'd post our links sometimes. Reddit is a magic and murky world. Sometimes makes a speech get huge hits, seemingly out of nowhere.
