I was not familiar with the quote from Aeschylus that Robert Kennedy quoted when MLK was murdered, and it is so moving. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing your feelings here, Maureen.
I think there have been some great speeches, including many referenced here, and also the funeral oration of Pericles, as recorded by Thucydides, but a speech from a professor at Cornell University on the subject of recycling has always stuck with me. Unfortunately I can’t remember the professor’s name but I remember that he said we have to understand that in nature there is no such thing as “waste”. In nature everything is reused in an endless cycle, and, in order to live in this world in a truly sustainable way, we have to operate that way too.
Thanks for yet another sustaining and sustainable comment, Chris.
I am a huge fan of free speech.
Me too, beth!
The best speech so far is Joan and Harley’s.
Joan and Harley appreciate your support, Maria!
