40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes

See the new "I Love You" video!
• How Hollywood Says "I ...
TRANSCRIPT:
Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won't go by in your life you won't regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I'm not going home. We've come too far! And I'm going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails... but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I'm not saying it's going to be easy. You're going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that's fine, we'll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That's how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you've got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You're like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death... that's the Chicago Way! Who's with me? Clap! Clap! Don't let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let's fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Independence Day!

[@MBelinkie]

Honestly, "They may take our lives but they'll never take OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!" was the very first thing I did for this montage. I totally understand why a lot of people don't like that ending, but it's my favorite part! Jeez, almost five years. Time for a sequel?

[@BasilBuchko]

According to this: www.overthinkingit.com/2008/12/08/disqualify-daniel-larusso/ you owe us a Part 2. It came due 2,764 views ago.

[@HectorHill-cz7qc]

Coming back to this after 9 years. I have fought, failed, raised again and failed again. What a journey it has been. These dialogues feel like an anthem to me. Even now, I get the exact feel of a 24 year old.

[@oPHILOSORAPTORo]

8 years later and still inspirational as fuck. Now who wants to conquer a small country with me?

[@xzavior1057]

Am I the only one who gets chills after hearing "Our Independence Day" and then the theme for Independence day starts playing? This is the most inspirational thing I have ever seen.

[@kenapty]

My AP Lit teacher sent us a link to this this morning. Our AP test is in an hour 😥

Laughing about all the “inspirational carrying of bobsled”

[@unclewilliam1015]

Impressive most impressive

[@mattsmith5566]

During these turbulent times, I find myself diving into sources of previous inspiration to help muster the strength to get through it. This one is, and will probably always be, at the top of the list.

[@brandoncook874]

I get chills when it gets to “Seize the day. Never surrender! Victory or death!”

[@BallerDan53]

943 people had their independence day taken.

[@BasilBuchko]

12 years. 12 years to find this joyous video. Better late than never, I guess.

[@herrbauman]

[@MBelinkie]

Haha awesome! Not feeling old at all! 😅

[@AddPWilliams]

Every morning I wake up...and watch this.

[@guitarplayr8]

"We are lions!" "Like a big bear man!" hahaha

[@chloem.goodenm.a.7974]

YEssssss. I crack up on that part every time! lol

[@operationmeh]

My blood is *burning*!

[@relix7373]

My teacher showed me this in my freshman history class like 13 years ago and I still watch it sometimes

[@r0bn8or]

This is a video that my former pack master showed us growing up in Boy Scouts. He was a great man that will be missed. It’s a video that I keep tucked away in my likes, for those days I need a little extra motivation. It got me through some hard times in high school.

[@KevinR1027]

My professor emailed this to my class for our final tomorrow lol.

[@TheFoolishSamurai]

*YEAH! Let's do this!* So... what was the plan again?

[@NorwegianSpring]

That's me in a nutshell.

[@chloem.goodenm.a.7974]

right lol

[@snopro1220]

I still watch this every year! One of the best KZbin videos ever made

[@yakctwotimezs8500]

It’s been 14years. Wow still hits 🥳🥳

[@S3SSioN_Solaris]

That Independence Day Though... :D

[@TheFoolishSamurai]

DoN SiR When he was making it at first, starting with independance day, it was supposed to be more comedic. Now, much better.

[@dudeh88]

+Neo Machine Is that first video anywhere on KZbin?

[@TheFoolishSamurai]

D Udeh No, it was a change in developement

[@dudeh88]

Dang. I would have liked to see it. There was a video kinda like this one with a different arrangement; it was used as kind of a rally video for this minor league baseball team near where I live. It starts with Herb Brooks' "great moments are born out of great opportunity" and ends with a montage of people clapping and rallying. I didn't know if the video in question was the same video.

[@DonPeyote420]

needs Shia Labouf edition :D

[@mollywilson5564]

I've been watching this before exams for ten years. Thanks, Matthew Belinkie.

[@anthonysorendino2525]

[@geargrinder87]

It's too bad this vid was made when it was, otherwise it could have included Stacker Pentacost's "canceling the Apocalypse" speech from Pacific Rim

[@ihatemods]

I love how everyone else says something that is deep and thoughtful, and the Spartans say, "AH-OO! AH-OO!"

[@demondeacon12]

Listen to this before every big test! Never fails!

[@CLOUDYIZEmusic]

Anyone else here from Atrioc lmao

[@VesselSplat]

lol

[@adamythos]

It's part of Charlie Chaplin's big speech in The Little Dictator, which was an act of defiance against Nazism . If you watch the whole speech, it's quite amazing.

[@klmegm197682]

Amazing, strong, and sooo true for yesterday, today, and what tomorrow may bring!

[@Hope24seven]

A day may come when the courage of men may fail....but it's not this day...Dear Lord that is my prayer today. Failure is not an option....Continue on world changers....

[@ammonmiller7950]

RIP Robin Williams

[@jamesprigioni]

Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack

[@blueandwhite01]

Its definitely the best part, I was in stitches the first time I watched it. I think the people who don't like it are the ones who actually consider this to be a sincere, motivational video, instead of just funny and clever.

[@hatecats5]

Congratulations, you have won the internet.
