I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?

Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?

Don't tell me words don't matter. «I have a dream.» Just words? «We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.» Just words? «We have nothing to fear but fear itself» – just words? Just speeches?

Barack Obama / Valgkamptale i 2008

«We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.» Just words – just words! «We have nothing to fear but fear itself.» Just words! «Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.» Just words! «I have a dream.» Just words!

Deval Patrick / Valgkamptale i 2006

As we stand on the crossroads of history, I know we can make the right choice and meet the challenges that lay before us. If you feel the same urgency and the same passion that I do, then I have no doubt that our voices will be heard in November. And our country will reclaim its promise and out of this darkness, a better day is on the horizon.

Vaughn Ward / Valgkamptale i 2010

As we stand at the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us. If you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, then I have no doubt the people will rise up in November and this country will reclaim its promise and out of this long political darkness, a brighter day will come.

Since the dawn of history in virtually every human society there are some people who are given a great deal and many more people who are given little or nothing. Some people have property and power, class and capital, status and clout which are denied to the many.

Jeremy Corbyn / Tale til Labour-landsmøtet, 2015

Since the dawn of history, in virtually every human society there are some people who are given a great deal and many more people who are given little or nothing. Some people have property and power, class and capital, status and even sanctity, which are denied to the multitude.
