Henry 5 before Harfleur.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
to it's full height.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start.
The games afoot, follow your spirit !
Hope you and Lord Stiffupperlip both agree with me that this really is motivational ,
Incidentally the score was France 0...England Several thousand !
Just google Richard Branaghs two great speeches...from Henry 5.
You'll enjoy them !
KTF.
