I have two - Charlie Chaplin's 1940 speech from the film "The Great Dictator" :
And Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" :
Chaplin mentions Luke 17 which reminded me of The Kingdom of God is Within You by Leo Tolstoy. It's the culmination of a lifetime of rumination on Christian philosophy. It helped inspire Gandhi's nonviolent resistance. I got interrupted last time I tried reading it. I think I'll give it another go. I'm susceptible to the mildest suggestions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingdom_of_God_Is_Within_You
