English classic recitation paragraphs

1. Man's dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.

The most precious thing in life is life. Life is only once for people. A person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years; nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing.

When he was dying, he could say: My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind!

2. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to, but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.

Happiness does not lie in simplicity When it comes to possessing money, happiness also lies in the joy after success and the passion in creative efforts. We must no longer forget the joy and inspiration brought by labor and madly chase the fleeting profits. If these dark days can make us realize that our true calling is not to be served by others but to serve ourselves and our fellow men, then the price we pay will be well worth it.

3. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today! When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants—will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”

I have a dream: One day this nation will rise up and realize the true meaning of his creed: We will defend these self-evident truths that all All men are created equal. I have a dream: One day on the red hills of Georgia, the descendants of former slaves and the descendants of slave owners can sit at the same table as brothers; I have a dream that one day my four children To live in a country where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by their character. When the bells of freedom ring, when we let them ring from every village, every state, and every city, we will be able to hasten that day. That is, all children of God, black and white, Jew, pagan.

Catholics or Protestants, they can all join hands and sing the old black hymn: "Free at last, free at last, thank God, we are free at last!"

4. I have nothing to offer but blood, toilet, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire , no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”

All I have to offer is blood, toil, tears and sweat. What we are facing will be an extremely cruel test, and what we are facing will be protracted struggle and suffering. If you ask us what is our goal? I can sum it up in one word, victory. Win at all costs, win without fear of all horrors, win more no matter how long or painful the road ahead is, because you can't survive without victory! We must realize that without victory there would be no British Empire, without victory there would be no everything the British Empire has symbolized, without victory there would be no strong demands and impulses for centuries: that mankind should move towards its goals. At this moment, my spirit is uplifted and I assume my role with confidence. I am convinced that as long as we all unite, our cause will not be defeated. At this critical moment, I feel I have the right to ask for support from all sides.

I want to appeal: "Come on, let us work together and move forward side by side!"

5. My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men. Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.--By John F. Kennedy

Translation:

My fellow Americans, do not ask what the United States can do for you. You should ask what you can contribute to the United States. My fellow citizens around the world, don’t ask what the United States will do for you, but ask what we can do together for human freedom. Finally, whether you are an American citizen or a fellow citizen of other countries, you should demand from us the same high level of strength and sacrifice that we demand from you. A clear conscience is our only reliable reward, and history is the final judge of our actions. All this allows us to take great strides forward to lead the land we love. We pray for God's blessing and help, but we know very well that God's work on earth must be our own work.

--[US] John F. Kennedy

6. Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things.--By Franklin D. Roosevelt

Translation:

Let me express my firm belief that what we have to fear is fear itself - an inexplicable, irrational, unfounded fear. It negates all the efforts needed to turn retreat into advancement. Whenever there were dark clouds in our country's life, frank and dynamic leadership won the understanding and support of the people, thereby preparing the indispensable conditions for victory. I am confident that in this time of crisis, you will receive the same support again. You and I must use this spirit to face difficulties together. Thank God these difficulties are only material.

--[US] Franklin Roosevelt

7. In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence. To express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task. That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends , and to say to oneself, the work is done. But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains. The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest; it cannot be while you still live. But to live is to function, that is all there is in living. So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes

Translation:

At this moment, silence is golden. It is not easy to express one's feelings towards the end of life. But I just want to talk about my perspective as a listener. The knights did not stop as soon as they reached the finish line. They continued walking slowly, listening to the cheers of their friends. Although they told themselves that the trip was over. As they say the results are in and the game is over. But as long as the motivation is still there, the journey of life is not over yet. Jogging after the finish line does not mean stopping, because this is not the case in life. To live is to make a difference, this is the true meaning of life. Finally, I would like to encourage everyone with an ancient Latin proverb: Death will not stop, but struggle will not stop.

--[US] Oliver Wendell Holmes

8. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born . Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course. Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own , a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel. --By George W. Bush

Translation:

These ideals The greatest of all is the American promise that is slowly being realized: that everyone has value, everyone has a chance to succeed, and everyone is born to make a difference. The American people have a mission to do their best to turn this promise into a lived and legal reality. While our nation has stalled or even regressed in the pursuit of this promise in the past, we remain steadfast in our mission. For much of the last century, America's faith in liberal democracy was like a rock in a turbulent sea. Now it is more like a seed in the wind, bringing freedom to every nation. In our country, democracy is not just a belief, but the hope of all mankind; we will not monopolize democracy, but will try our best to share it with everyone; democracy, we will keep it in mind and continue to spread it. 225 years have passed and we still have a long way to go.

--[US] George Bush
