More quotes by Barack Obama
I think my most important advice is to understand what are the foundations of a healthy democracy and how we have to engage in citizenship continuously, not just when something upsets us not just when there's an election or when an issue pops up for a few weeks. It's hard work.
Barack Obama
I believe that the best measure of whether a nation is going to be successful is whether they are tapping the talents of their women.
Barack Obama
What we have to do is make sure that here in America, if you work hard, you can get ahead. If you worked hard, not only did you have a good job, but you also had decent benefits, decent health care. We've got to make sure that we're doing everything we can to expand the middle class and people who are working hard can get into the middle class.
Barack Obama
We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price. But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes - a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of our hearts.
Barack Obama
Go back to - my first campaign for the United States Senate. I got a bunch of people now talking about inequality. But back then they sure weren't. Back then, folks were saying I was preaching class warfare. Now it's suddenly their campaign platform.
Barack Obama
For the United States of America, the best is yet to come.

Barack Obama
It's easier to make negative attacks and simplistic slogans [in social media] than it is to communicate complex policies.
Barack Obama
There are certain things we can only do together. There are certain things only a union can do. Only a union could harness the courage of our pioneers to settle the American west, which is why President Abraham Lincoln passed a Homestead Act giving a tract of land to anyone seeking a stake in our growing economy.
Barack Obama
Greatness is never free it must be earned.
Barack Obama
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.
Barack Obama
it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President
Barack Obama
And above all, children need our unconditional love - whether they succeed or make mistakes when life is easy and when life is tough.
Barack Obama
When your team loses, everybody gets deflated. And it's hard, and it's challenging.
Barack Obama
I have never had to travel more than thirty seconds from home to office, and it's because of that that I've been able to maintain, really a family life that has nurtured and sustained me during this time [of presidency].
Barack Obama
I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things - such as traditional marriage - that, I think, express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution.
Barack Obama
What is true is [Bashar] Assad got rid of his chemical weapons.
Barack Obama
That is the nature of democracy. It is hard. It is not always inspiring.
Barack Obama
I think what grows the economy is when you get that tax credit that we put in place for your kids going to college. I think that grows the economy. I think what grows the economy is when we make sure small businesses are getting a tax credit for hiring veterans who fought for our country. That grows our economy.
Barack Obama
