Al Gore's Concession speech in 2000:
Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States. And I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time. I offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we've just passed.
Let me say how grateful I am to all those who supported me and supported the cause for which we have fought. Tipper and I feel a deep gratitude to Joe and Hadassah Lieberman, who brought passion and high purpose to our partnership and opened new doors, not just for our campaign but for our country.
This has been an extraordinary election. But in one of God's unforeseen paths, this belatedly broken impasse can point us all to a new common ground, for its very closeness can serve to remind us that we are one people with a shared history and a shared destiny. Indeed, that history gives us many examples of contests as hotly debated, as fiercely fought, with their own challenges to the popular will. Other disputes have dragged on for weeks before reaching resolution. And each time, both the victor and the vanquished have accepted the result peacefully and in a spirit of reconciliation.
I know that many of my supporters are disappointed. I am too. But our disappointment must be overcome by our love of country.
And now, my friends, in a phrase I once addressed to others: it's time for me to go.

you make me sick
杀你一个花
你怎會知道的?
Are you serious?!?!? What did someone google this and Al Gore's speech popped up?!?!
Who could forget the long rally between Bush and Gore?
William was too smart. He thought using Al Gore's famous quote would make him as a Gore-like gentleman. He is not!
In real life, I am an English teacher. I learnt Gore's speech when I was a student. I taught my students Obama's speech. This is it!
Yoman.....................原來你是教師!
This is it!
Sancta Sedes 就是威廉的組織號,我說明一下。
Thanks for your reminder of my typo! 😁
Sancta Sedes deleted the post wor!
Yoman,
我在你是學生時,已經在US的Al Gore競選總部工作,你認為這篇文章是Al Gore寫嗎?
我只是玩webgame,認真便是輸了!
ZOMFG! William used the Holy See org and then came back and posted with his character account!!!
(I'll did the same for hilarity.)
競選總部! 威廉也很厲害! 怪不得Aliao說你是大叔.....
Yoman請不要再對威廉說什麼了, 大家也是玩Webgame而已
google了一下,果然是抄的
ec的选民们,庆幸你们做了正确的选择;
原來你是Eli Attie,失敬!
Yoman搵埋你D教師朋友一齊玩lol
@ William
So you guess I donno what 'speechwriter' is?
plagiarize....
@William
連學術界最鄙視嘅 "plagiarism" 你都犯,你點考Alevel點過JUPAS 呀?
楼主是韩国人民?
現在互聯網真方便
落宣宣言怎麼的根本不用自己寫
google一下就找到題材了
不論這裡是否遊戲,既然這是公開言論,就不應如此抄襲
總統選舉,相信所有人包括參選者都是認真行事的,
而在這個時候有(前)候選人「忽然兒戲」,視人人都認真之事為「兒戲」
那麼,「公道自在人心,群眾眼睛是雪亮的」這些說話都不必言明了吧?
同意樓上, 連一番謝票的說話感謝支持者都要抄襲, 我很懷疑威廉對選舉的認真度
I personally don't see a problem with using that. At the very least, William is sincere in his words.
