World's 5 Most Powerful Speeches


Bangalore: Actions speak louder than words and words have the power to evoke emotion. The great leaders have inspired the world with the power of their speech and here are the world’s five most inspirational speeches.

Barack Obama:
Barack Obama delivered an inspirational speech after being declared the winner of the U.S. Presidential election, 2012.

Obama said "Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come," as reported by walesonline.co.uk.

He said “Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated.”

“We have our own opinions, each of us has deeply held beliefs, and when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won’t change after tonight and it shouldn’t. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today. But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future."
