“It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”

Barack Obama

“We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.”

Barack Obama

“You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig.”

Barack Obama

“For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga- a belief that we're all connected as one people. If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me- even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription drugs and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer- even if it's not my grandparent. If there's an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that that threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief- I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper- that makes this country work.”

Barack Obama

“Chicago, a town that’s accustomed to its racial wounds and prides itself on a certain lack of sentiment.”

Barack Obama

“In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted, for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.”

Barack Obama

“Change won't come from the top, Change will come from mobilized grassroots.”

“When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point.”

Barack Obama

“Once I found an issue enough people cared about, I could take them into action. With enough actions, I could start to build power

Barack Obama

“To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.”

Barack Obama

“the worlds that they thought they’d left behind reclaimed each of them, I occupied the place where their dreams had been.”

Barack Obama

“Ours is not the first generation to understand the dire need for health reform. And I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last.”

Barack Obama

“It was Jefferson, not some liberal judge in the sixties, who called for a wall between church and state—and if we have declined to heed Jefferson’s advice to engage in a revolution every two or three generations, it’s only because the Constitution itself proved a sufficient defense against tyranny.”

Barack Obama

“The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves.”

Barack Obama
