"Ask not what your country can do for you", "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat", "Ich bin ein Berliner", "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall", "I have a dream". These simple phrases or sentences summarize an entire personality, an entire speech, and in some cases, an entire movement.
