With malice toward none, with charity for all

[vogue65]

Need I say more?

[rocket surgeon]

first of all-probably not? 

secondly, so far ya got yourself a pretty vague(not vogue) superbar topic and

third, what in the gosh darn heck are ya getting at here sparky? 
      malice toward none sounds like ya been hangin with grasshopper(read-kung fu) and

     charity for all sounds like ya had yourself a good year financially-good on ya. 

      other than that?  might as well put this one in "nm"  before mutation wakes up thinking it's something political and really facks it up...if it already isn't

[GooooMarquette]

Agree vogue!

  ...."With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations...."

A. Lincoln , Second Inaugural Address
Sunday March 4 1865

RS ...you did recognize the quote...didn't you?
Hint: This is inscribed on the wall of the North Chamber of the Lincoln Memorial

Certainly one of the 3-4 greatest speeches in American history.

 i'll be honest with ya hou-no.  i didn't recognize it at the top all by itself, but thank you for the clarity-it was a great speech indeed.  it just didn't click at 6:14 this morning, taking my first sip of joe

Your comment made me reflect on this. Personally, I think his Gettyusburg Address was more compelling but that is a matter of opinion.

Other great American speeches include:

Reagan's challenge to Mr Gorbachev

I Have a Dream (I would also rank Letter from a Birmingham Jail but it wasn't a speech since he was locked up)

Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat (included as his mother was American)   

Give me Liberty or give me Death

Hypocrisy of American Slavery

Gehrig's Farewell

Washington's Resignation

MacArthur's Final Role Call

Chief Joseph's Surrender

JFK Moon Challenge

Faulkner Nobel Speech
