This is a core principle of my presidency - if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

Injustice in the end produces independence.

if you argue for your limitations they are yours

Slowly would be better than not at all.

I ran for president to present the citizens of America. I am here to change the broken system so it serves their families and their communities well.

those who use the word 'lifestyle' are rarely in possession of either.

He hit the post, and after the game people will say, well, he hit the post.

I am a demonstrative man, a baby picker-upper, a hugger and a kisser--that's my nature.

Tree sitting is a last resort. When you see someone sitting in a tree trying to protect it, you know that every level of our society has failed.

As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.

The facts will speak for themselves. Credit them or not, but read!
