You can spend hours at American Rhetoric. The site features literally hundreds of speeches. Some are sad, some are inspirational and others are funny. But they’re all moving.

The speeches give great insight into American history. Students and teachers will be especially interested. Start with the 100 greatest American speeches of the 20th century. You can read transcripts or listen to audio recordings of them.

The speeches aren’t limited to the 20th century. There are religious speeches that span centuries and clips from recent political conventions. Quite fascinating.

But it’s Friday, and maybe you want something more light-hearted. You’ll find that, too. There are speeches culled from dozens of movies. It’s impressive.
