Political Speech

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or speech:

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“One thinking it is right to speak all things, whether the word is fit for speech or unutterable.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
