The seven secrets of the greatest speakers in history | Richard Greene | TEDxOrangeCoast

  • 0:11 - 0:12
    It's 1903
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    and this extraordinary gay
    named Teddy Roosevelt
  • 0:16 - 0:21
    is standing on the edge
    of the Grand Canyon
  • 0:21 - 0:27
    and at that time people wanted
    to create hotels and spas
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    and turn the Grand Canyon in 1903
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    into a profit-making disneyland
    of the environment.
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    And he stood and said no.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    And he created a tipping point for
    the environmental movement
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    and for the world.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    He said: "leave it as it is.
  • 0:46 - 0:51
    the ages have been at work on it
    and man can only mar it."
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    (Aplauses)
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    The world would have been
    a different place today
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    without those words
    those tipping point words
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    from Presidente Theodore Roosevelt

    Hi there,

    I would like to suggest two corrections for the subtitles below:

    9:16 - 9:18 Winston Churchill: In stage of the house, => I would say to the House,

    9:18 - 9:20
    and I said to those who joined the government, => as I said to those who have joined this government...

    Thank you!
