Famous People Quotes

[sophie_1003]

I need suggestions of video or audio clips of famous people talking (and preferably where the clip in question is famous) who are now dead; for example I already have Matin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech and Churchill's Never Surrender speech. Also have a couple from films where the actor is now dead but would prefer 'real life' ones. Any help is much appreciated as always!

An extra challenge now; have lots of politiciany type ones thanks to you lovely people, also have actor ones with quotes from films. Can anyone think of any sports personality ones; am thinking along the lines of 'Float like a butterfly; sting like a bee' (but with ones from dead people!) Thanks again!
