Around the world, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela -- what they did was hard. It takes time. It takes more than a single term. It takes more than a single president. It takes more than a single individual.

More quotes by Barack Obama
I believe it`s important to be open and honest, especially with your friends.
Barack Obama
Try to be as honest as possible.
Barack Obama
What we saw was that the Ferguson Police Department in conjunction with the municipality saw traffic stops, arrests, tickets as a revenue generator, as opposed to serving the community, and that it systematically was biased against African-Americans in that city who were stopped, harassed, mistreated, abused, called names, fined.
Barack Obama
When, you know, I'm busy and Nancy Pelosi is busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess - we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. You're not mopping fast enough. That's a socialist mop. Grab a mop - let's get to work.
Barack Obama
I believe that we have better ideas. But I also believe that good ideas don't matter if people don't hear them.
Barack Obama
The United States has to go through structural reforms in terms of improving our education system or revamping our infrastructure or, you know, looking at some regulations that weren't properly controlling excesses on Wall Street.
Barack Obama
I mean, if you think about - if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It's the Post Office that's always having problems.
Barack Obama
If we have the kinds of confirmation that we need, we will once again work with the international community and the organization charged with monitoring compliance by the Syrian government, and we will reach out to patrons of Assad like Russia to put a stop to it.
Barack Obama
There is nothing wrong with our country, there is something wrong with our politics...When this country is operating off a common ground, nobody can stop us. But when we're divided, then we end up having a whole lot of self-inflicted problems.
Barack Obama
We can't in any way criticize or at least indict or impeach administration [of Democratic presidents] for doing what they did.
Barack Obama
We've got to change our regulatory system.
Barack Obama
It's the idea held by generations of citizens who believed that America is a constant work in progress who believed that loving this country requires more than singing its praises or avoiding uncomfortable truths. It requires the occasional disruption, the willingness to speak out for what's right, and shake up the status quo.
Barack Obama
If it's on Facebook, it all looks the same.
Barack Obama
It is true, I worry about the hype. The only person more over-hyped than me is you.
Barack Obama
My finely honed political instincts tell me that almost nobody believes that they should be paying higher taxes.
Barack Obama
Progress in the most impoverished parts of our world enriches us all.
Barack Obama
It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation.
Barack Obama
I absolutely think that when we talk about family, faith, community, I think it's important for Democrats to be able to connect with folks where they live.
Barack Obama
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
Barack Obama
When we start using religion as a bludgeon in politics, when we start questioning other people's faith, we start using religion to divide, instead of bring the country together, then I think we've got a problem.
Barack Obama
