The Greatest Speech (feat. The Great Dictator)

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or

Conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man

White. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each

Other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one

Another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide

For everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way

Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us

Into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical

Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than

Machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these

Inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the

Unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of

Despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture

And imprison innocent people

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the

Passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of

Men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the

People. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish, perish, perish

We all want to help one another. We don't want to hate and despise one another. Human

Beings are like that. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost
