Inventing long speeches for historical characters

It is n’t strategists that are wanted so much as believers

Kindly shadow of oblivion
King who thought it furious madness to resist the enemy
King had issued a general repudiation of his debts

King of Zion to be pinched to death with red-hot tongs
King was often to be something much less or much worse
King’s definite and final intentions, varied from day to day

Life of nations and which we call the Past
Like a man holding a wolf by the ears
Little army of Maurice was becoming the model for Europe
Little grievances would sometimes inflame more than vast
Local self-government which is the life-blood of liberty
Logic of the largest battalions
Logic is rarely the quality on which kings pride themselves
Logical and historical argument of unmerciful length
Long succession of so many illustrious obscure
Longer they delay it, the less easy will they find it
Look through the cloud of dissimulation
Look for a sharp war, or a miserable peace

Loud, nasal, dictatorial tone, not at all agreeable
Louis XIII. 
Loving only the persons who flattered him
Ludicrous gravity
Luther’s axiom, that thoughts are toll-free

Made no breach in royal and Roman infallibility
