“ Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”Ībraham Lincoln was the master of brevity. I hear people complain that they cannot possibly deliver a meaningful speech if they are only given 20 minutes to speak. The Gettysburg Address lasted only two minutes, contained 10 sentences and a mere 272 words. Rarely has so much power been delivered so succinctly. Perhaps the most impressive use of so few words the world has ever seen. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on the 19th of November 1863 remains one of the most impactful speeches of all time.
