Barack Obama
On issues like Ukraine, on issues like Syria, we've had very significant differences [with Russia].
Barack Obama
There's no doubt that probably at least once a week, maybe once a day, I said, Ah, I should have done that better.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
Barack Obama
We've taken bold action at home by making historic investments in renewable energy, by putting our people to work increasing efficiency in our homes and buildings, and by pursuing comprehensive legislation to transform to a clean energy economy.
Barack Obama
We have to deal with the 11 million individuals who are here illegally. The bill that Senator [Marco] Rubio put forward, I think is a great place to start.
Barack Obama
Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it's going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you'll never see it.
Barack Obama
I don't want to be invited to the family hunting party.
Barack Obama
At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better
Barack Obama
One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world.
Barack Obama
Washington is a place where good ideas go to die.
Barack Obama
I want every math teacher to know math. I want every science teacher to have expertise in science. I want them to know how to inspire and engage young people.

Barack Obama
