Obviously, in The Great Speeches of History by William Safire we would find Ingersoll who made so many that were among the greatest in history!

books.google.ca

"see if you can find something as dumb as "he liked young men""

WHY IS THAT "dumb", DUMBO???

He was renowned as a family man and as as a humanitarian who gave freely to help the young (and the old), the strong (and the weak) move forward. He loved children and women and slaves and the young--and as a great attorney and brilliant orator and champion of freedom and rights he helped all these people with financial assistance, free legal counsel, and glowing defenses in speech after speech as he swept across the United States to packed houses time and time again!

The honorarium was beautiful and brilliant. How many people pretend to have values and to give when they always have a price attached? YOU wouldn't give anybody a nickel (never mind a hundred dollars)...(and this was more like $3000.00 in today's terms using the Consumer Price Index!)--in fact, nickels is all you would have to give to judge by your lack of character and your stunned perception of things!

If you are doing the self guided Washington, D.C. Tour of the great man you can find a guide here:

You should be able to walk it in less than two hours.
