Barack Obama

We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.

Just because you have critics doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.

The cynics may be the loudest voices, but I promise you, they will not be the strongest voices.

Power without principle is barren.

To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.

It's not enough to celebrate the ideals of Thomas Jefferson. We must actively pursue them.

Community colleges are the best kept secret in American education.

When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up.

The United States is a place where anything is possible.

We all have a part to play in this new world.

Hope is the belief that we can do better.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom.

The American story is not just about the powerful.

We honor the dead best by treating the living well.

Unity is the great need of the hour.

What I want is a country where opportunity is for all people.

The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.

Let's be the generation that says no more.
