This is not class warfare. It’s math.
Barack Obama
We have to all shoulder the responsibility for keeping the planet habitable, or we're going to suffer the consequences - together.
Barack Obama
I think there are hard-liners inside of Iran that think it is the right thing to do to oppose us, to seek to destroy Israel, to cause havoc in places like Syria or Yemen or Lebanon, if they don't change at all, we're still better off having the deal.
Barack Obama
Faith doesn't mean that you don't have doubts.
Barack Obama
Every decision, every debate, no matter how important it is, with the same question: 'What does this mean for the next election? What does it mean for your poll numbers? Is this good for the Democrats or good for the Republicans? Who won the news cycle?' That's just how Washington is. They can't help it. They're obsessed with the sport of politics.
Barack Obama
Those are the ladies sitting in church. And in the same way that they might feel a joy and release on Sunday, they are still going to work on Monday. And that's who I was listening to during this process. And if at the end of my presidency they feel like I did a pretty good job, then I'll feel pretty good.
Barack Obama
It still puts burden on some troops of ours who are there [in Afghanistan and Iraq] as advisors and facilitators.
Barack Obama
A change is brought about because ordinary people do extraordinary things.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
Barack Obama
There's a little perspiration involved in bringing about change too.
Barack Obama
No matter how much you've done, or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.
Barack Obama
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it...The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.
Barack Obama
If we are enforcing what should be the rules around Medicare and making sure the people are getting the bang for the buck, it's not going to be possible for insurance companies to simply pass on those costs to Medicare recipients, because ultimately it's Uncle Sam that's paying for those services anyway.
Barack Obama
A relentless focus on the outward markers of success can lead to complacency. It can make you lazy.
Barack Obama
I'm LeBron, baby. I can play on this level. I got some game.
Barack Obama
I don't think there's a lot of dispute for this. You can argue that we didn't get everything done that we wanted to get done, but I can make a really strong argument, and I think prove, that by almost every measure the country's better off now than when I started.
Barack Obama
With respect to Syria, we are going to continue to work as we have over the last five, six years to push towards a political transition and settlement.
Barack Obama
The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
Barack Obama
The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.
Barack Obama
