From Franklin Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan, from Mahatma Gandhi to Lady Gaga, they’ve published every thoughtful, useful, inspiring or provocative speech they’ve gotten their hands on for more than three quarters of a century, because Vital Speeches of the Day staff still believe in founder Thomas Daly’s belief that “it is only in the unedited and unexpurgated speech that the view of the speaker is truly communicated to the reader,” which is why we print all speeches in full. And we continue to follow the mission to “represent the best thoughts of the best minds on current national and international issues.” Covers education, government, current events, history, economics, business and commerce, social progress, and politics.
