1. Words--- uttered or written down ---- have the potentiality to impact our thoughts and deeds. This impact can be short lived and enduring as well. Speeches made during election campaigns are qualitatively different from speeches made at historic moments. Election speeches have an immediate goal---- to capture power by playing with voters' minds. A good election campaign speech utilizes the art of rhetoric in the best possible way.
2. One historic speech was the 30-minute speech delivered by the architect of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman on the 7th of March 1971. About one million people assembled in the Race Course field in Dhaka to listen to this speech. Immediate goal of this speech was not power, but much more than that. It was a call for self determination against the Pakistani rulers. That speech inspired the freedom fighters during the 9-month period of arms struggle that ended up with the emergence of Bangladesh as a free country. A Bangladeshi poet Nirmalendu Goon wrote a poem calling that speech a poem and the orator a poet.
3. I would like to put both Gettysburg Address and "I have a dream" speech in this category. Both Moses's speech and Mohammed's speech during last pilgrimage have big impact on human societies as these were kind of manifesto for changing the world the way the two Prophets had thought to be most befitting. Gandhi's speech in the movie "Gandhi" emphasizes on a great political philosophy that is necessary to rule a country which has diversity in so many ways.
