There are ten speeches of famous figures that remain as some of the best. Two are by William Shakespeare. Two are from royalty; King George VI’s famed radio address was made into a film, and Queen Elizabeth I’s speech in 1588. These, along with Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, President Kennedy’s moon landing speech, Winston Churchill’s 1940 speech and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, show us how brevity, straightforwardness and simplicity make speeches memorable for decades to come.
