I think the "influence" of the last two listed quotes are debatable. But that illustrates the value of having such a list: it sparks inquiry and debate.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 21:52, 18 April 2019 (EDT)

:Could this at least be made an essay to get it out of mainspace? I take your point about inquiry and debate, but an encyclopedia article needs firmer footing than this idea is ever likely to have.
:With that said, I'd offer:
:*''"We shall fight on the beaches..."'', [[Winston Churchill]]
:*''"I have a dream..."'', [[Martin Luther King]]
:*''"I am the greatest!"'' [[Muhammad Ali]]
:*"''...the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..."'', [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]
:*"Speak softly and carry a big stick..."'', [[Theodore Roosevelt]]
:*''"...ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."'' [[John F. Kennedy]]
:*''"This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper."'' [[T.S. Eliot]]
:*''"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"'' [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]]
:*''"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."'' [[Neil Armstrong]]
