More quotes by Barack Obama
Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Rise to their needs.
Barack Obama
If you only think about yourself - how much money can I make, what can I buy, how nice is my house, what kind of fancy car do I have? - over the long term, I think, you get bored. I think your life becomes diminished. The way to live a full life is to think: What can I do for others?
Barack Obama
Every single thing I`ve done, from the Affordable Care Act to pushing to raise the minimum wage, to making sure that young people are able to go to college and get good job training, to what we`re pushing now in terms of sick paid leave,everything I do has been focused on how do we make sure the middle class is getting a fair deal.
Barack Obama
What the American people understand is that I look at what we need to get done to keep the American people safe and to move our interests forward, and I make those decisions.

Barack Obama
That's when America soars, when we look out for one another and we take care of each other, when we root for one another's success, when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come, that's why we do what we do. That's the whole point of public service.
Barack Obama
I think the most important thing is to take the long view on things. We live in such a 24/7, Twitter-fed, constant news cycle, and everything's a crisis, everything is terrible, everything is doomsday, everything is - if it doesn't get solved tomorrow, your presidency is going off the rails.
Barack Obama
What is certainly true is that the United States has to have a presence to promote the values that we care about.
Barack Obama
In America, we then made a commitment, particularly after World War II with the GI Bill, to massively expand our commitment to college education, and that meant we had more engineers and we had more scientists and that meant we had better technology, which meant that we were more productive and we could succeed in the global marketplace.
Barack Obama
So many of my staff is young enough that they're going to do amazing things. And I'm going to be helping them try to do them.
Barack Obama
There's something about these steps [in Oval Office] and thinking about everybody who's walked here and all the business that's been done here.
Barack Obama
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
Barack Obama
Progress in the most impoverished parts of our world enriches us all.
Barack Obama
It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
I am the eternal optimist. I think that, over time, people respond to civility and -- and rational argument.
Barack Obama
When I was a kid, I inhaled. Frequently. That was the point.
Barack Obama
What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it's the courage to raise one.
Barack Obama
America is number one in wind power.
Barack Obama
People call me a socialist sometimes. But, no, you gotta meet real socialists. You'll have a sense of what a socialist is.
Barack Obama
The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack Obama
