More quotes by Barack Obama
Acts of sacrifice and decency without regard to what's in it for you create a ripple effect. Ones that lift up families and communities, that spread opportunity.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
I have been in Washington for a while now, and most things don't surprise me. The fact that twenty 6-year-olds were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me.
Barack Obama
There's no doubt that I'm a better president now than when I first took office. This is not a job where there's a manual, and over time you get a better sense of what's important, what's not, how to see around corners and anticipate problems, as opposed to just managing problems once they've arrived.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama
The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy.
Barack Obama
Arne Duncan is done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else.
Barack Obama
So, let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look over not only ourselves, but each other.
Barack Obama
There's no one who I believe has ever captured the soul of America more profoundly than Abraham Lincoln has.
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
Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.
Barack Obama
We also think this is a reminder of the long tradition of bipartisan foreign policy that has been the hallmark of America at moments of greatest need, and that's the kind of spirit that we hope will be reflected in our administration.
Barack Obama
I said this right after the election - we have to remind ourselves we're on the same team. Vladimir Putin's not on our team.

It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
