More quotes by Barack Obama
[We should beware] that our democracy stays healthy. And making sure that we maintain that sense of solidarity.
Barack Obama
We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.
Barack Obama
It's also wonderful to be back with my great friend and ally, Chancellor [Angela] Merkel. As I reflect back over the last eight years, I could not ask for a steadier or more reliable partner on the world stage, often through some very challenging times.
Barack Obama
I don't want to jump the gun, [but] I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government.
Barack Obama
The friendship that we established early on in our marriage ... that carries you through tough times. That and a good sense of humor.
Barack Obama
As Americans, we can take enormous pride in the fact that courage has been inspired by our own struggle for freedom, by the tradition of democratic law secured by our forefathers and enshrined in our Constitution. It is a tradition that says all men are created equal under the law and that no one is above it.
Barack Obama
We don't turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up.
Barack Obama
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
His peaceful resistance shook the foundations of an empire, exposed the emptiness of a repressive ideology, and proved that moral leadership is more powerful than any weapon.
Barack Obama
I've said this before, and I know this raises questions in the minds of some evangelicals. I do not believe that my mother, who never formally embraced Christianity as far as I know ... I do not believe she went to hell.
Barack Obama
I try to make it a rule not to meddle in other people's politics.
Barack Obama
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
Barack Obama
I mentioned charter schools, and experimenting with our school system, to make it work. I think that's something we really have to pay attention to.
Barack Obama
Slowly, but surely, we are moving in the right direction. We're on the right track. The economy is getting stronger
Barack Obama
To everyone in this Congress who still refuses to raise the minimum wage, I say this: If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest-working people in America a raise.
Barack Obama
On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland.
Barack Obama
I think I'm able to reach a lot of folks, despite the fact that the conventional news media sometimes says, You know, this speech is too long, or It's too complicated, or He needs to have better sound bites, or what have you.
Barack Obama
I am who I am. You sort of get what you see with me.
Barack Obama
Donald Trump is somebody who I think likes to mix it up and to have a vigorous debate.
Barack Obama
It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
