Discours, a powerful tool that has shaped history and ignited revolutions. From Lenin's impassioned speech to the workers of the Putilov factory during the Russian Revolution of 1917, to Saint Vincent Ferrer preaching with fervor in the late 15th-early 16th century, discourse has always held immense influence. In August 1792, Georges Jacques Danton exclaimed during the French Revolution, "To defeat, we need audacity, and always audacity. " These words echoed through time as Danton spoke again: "We need audacity, and yet more audacity, " inspiring a nation yearning for change. Francois Guizot faced opposition denouncing his foreign policy but remained resolute. In front of the house of deputies, he declared defiantly: "We can multiply insults and slanders; we can pile them up as much as we want. " La Fayette proclaimed during the French Revolution in 1789 that "This Roundel will go around the world, " symbolizing hope spreading across nations like wildfire. Philippe Auguste asserted proudly at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214: "My crown is bravest and most dignified. " Edouard Drumont concluded his nationalist and antisemitic speech at The Banquet of Lyon amidst thunderous applause from his supporters. This moment captured by Olivier Pichat depicted an era filled with division and animosity. Stalin's portrait painted in 1933 immortalized a man whose speeches instilled fear among many but also commanded unwavering loyalty from others. His words carried weight that reverberated throughout Soviet society. Even beyond political realms, discours played its part. A conference held between crew members on board Pioneer (French ship) and a Portuguese trader discussed how to perish slaves while bottles of wine lay scattered on wrapping paper-covered floors in Agagogo.
