More quotes by Barack Obama
We don't quit. I don't quit. Let's seize this moment.
Barack Obama
We are reminded that, in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.
Barack Obama
We believe that no matter where you live - whether a village in Punjab or the bylanes of Chandni Chowk, an old section of Kolkata or a new high-rise in Bangalore - every person deserves the same chance to live in security and dignity, to get an education, to find work, and to give their children a better future.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
Don't shortchange the future, because of fear in the present.
Barack Obama
We can't expect to solve problems if all we do is tear each other down. You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it.
Barack Obama
If there's even one thing we can do - even one life we can save - we have an obligation to try
Barack Obama
[Michelle Obama] was the hardest sell. And she never fully embraced being in the public spotlight, which is ironic, given how good she is.
Barack Obama
ISIS is not an organization that can destroy the United States. This is not a huge industrial power that can pose great risks to us, institutionally or in a systematic way. But they can hurt us. And they can hurt our people and our families.
Barack Obama
What is true, though, is now we've got a bunch of videos that whatever side of the issue you're on, raises the temperature on these issues and makes people really focused .
Barack Obama
You can't always come up with the optimal solution, but you can usually come up with a better solution.
Barack Obama
One thing I don't like is when you disrespect the law.
Barack Obama
Islam has always been part of America
Barack Obama
Let's say I'm on the policy wonk end of the spectrum. As much as I can dive into a briefing book and really work to master various subjects that come before my desk, I'm still not an expert on a huge amount of the stuff that we work on.
Barack Obama
