I found this clip on youtube of some of Picard's best speeches during TNG:

I miss Picard's speeches!

I really liked Picard vs. Armus. He saved his people and delivered a striking blow to an entity that could have killed him at its whim. He defeated evil, literally. 
Similarly, him goading Satie to snap in front of the Admiral was a pretty nice gambit. Kirk can occasionally talk a computer to death, but Picard can defeat anybody.

If Picard couldn't make it as a Captain, after his heart transplant, he would've made a hell of a lawyer, I think ...
"No! NO! I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"

Pulling something out of his...er....whatever to stick up for Data is a really close second for me. It's the times that Picard focuses on the needs of the individual over the needs or convenience of the many and delivers a monologue to prove it that really stick out.
My favorite is a tie between his cold badassery with Gul Macet in The Wounded. You could see the chill go down Macet's spine, and how expertly he twisted the knife on Satie in The Drumhead. Sent her into a total meltdown
A good oft forgotten one is when he ran down Q with Shakespeare in Hide & Q

Conversely, his down dressing of Riker in The Pegasus was also a pretty solid helping of ass handing

I missed Picard when Archer was trying to make his speeches....
Whenever I think about Archer attempting to string words together, I'm reminded about him bitching about aliens being unhappy that his dog pissed on their sacred trees, and threatening to piss on them himself.
I remember having a little epiphany when they did a scene of Archer chewing out Reed in his ready room. I realized that the scene must have been written with Picard and Worf in mind. It would have been electrifying if Stewart and Dorn had done it. In the hands of Bakula and Keating, it was a whining contest.
No, well, I should have said 'distinct'. Say what you want about us, but no one can deny that we have some of the best accents in the World.
Frenchman with a British accent. I love it.
