Best speeches?

Archer's final speech towards the end of "Terra Prime" is excellent.

Up until about a hundred years ago, there was one question that burned in every human, that made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them, Are we alone? Our generation is privileged to know the answer to that question. We are all explorers, driven to know what's over the horizon, what's beyond our own shores. And yet, the more I've experienced, the more I've learned that no matter how far we travel, or how fast we get there, the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us, woven into the threads that bind us, all of us, to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together.

TNG: Q Who?
Q: If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.

Spock: My father says you are my friend...you came back for me.
Kirk: I did.
Spock: Why would you do this?
Kirk: Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many.

Kirk's "needs of the one" one line speech hits it right on the head. You have to be there for your friends when the chips are down!
 
Chakotay's "Scorpion" speech to Janeway is a good one.

Though not quite a speech, I absolutely love the discourse between Picard and Nuria in "Who Watches the Watchers" in the conference room.
