The eloquence of words combined with the art of oratory has given birth to
speeches that have changed the course of history. These are the words
that have inspired men and women to excel, moved their hearts, led them to
action, provided comfort in times of trouble, guided them, and influenced by
example. This week's words are taken from some of the famous speeches from
history.

Of course, when reading or listening to many modern-day speakers, we have
to be careful not to pay too much attention to empty words, for words don't
mean a thing unless accompanied by deeds that match them. With professional
speechwriters in tow, it is easy to sing lofty words while acting contrarily.
