Churchill is the only one that comes close imo.
quote:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat



Eta: All of you saying Hitler, you do realize most of the German people didmt know about the holocaust right? He inspired them to go to war but that didnt take much convincing after ww1 and the treaty of Versailles. They used the treaty as a way to punish Germany. Hitler only had a select few who knew about his final solution and if you think anyone who commits mass murder is a great inspirational leader than I guess stalin, tojo, pol pot, Mao,queen Isabella and king Ferdinand along with the catholic church during the inquisition and genghis khan were all inspirational leaders to. Genocide isnt new to the human race and didnt just happen in Germany circa 1940

I inspire people to lose their minds on this site daily, so I'll say me.

The biggest piece of shite in history, Hitler, was apparently incredible at inspiring a bunch of crazy fricks to do a bunch of the worst atrocities in history

Grantland Rice and John Wooden were better. I’m not even sure the quote attributed Teddy is authentic. Rudyard Kipling is bad arse as well.

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

Lincoln is the only one that compares IMO.

quote:

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.

It is part of a very famous speech delivered by him in Paris, France on April 23rd, 1910.

It is quite authentic.

Printed this out and put it in my office the other day after watching The Roosevelts documentary.

It has to be a religious character like Abraham, Jesus, and more modernly Martin Luther.

Outside of them how do you compare men like Marc Antony, Spartacus, King Richard I, Robert the Bruce, Stonewall Jackson, and you can’t ignore the fact that Trump has been able to rally common Americans like no one else in more than a generation.

Yeah I'd go with Hitler. You can find audio of his speeches and he was a fantastic orator. Charismatic, smart, but batshit out of his mind. Just imagine how inspiring you have to be to stir up people to literally round up their countrymen and kill them.
