I want every young man who sees me to know that I'm not that different from them. I wasn't born into wealth. I wasn't born into fame. I made a lot of mistakes - but I kept at it.
Barack Obama

More quotes by Barack Obama
I don't want to be invited to the family hunting party.
Barack Obama
After a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999.
Barack Obama
I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
Barack Obama
We've subsidized oil companies for a century. That's long enough. It's time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that rarely has been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that never has been more promising. Pass clean energy tax credits. Create these jobs.
Barack Obama
We have greater awareness of where we're falling short than we used to. Just take the example of community police relations.
Barack Obama
Mexico is going to need the United States to cooperate in order to rid itself of the violence and corruption that results from the drug trade.
Barack Obama
When times get tough, we don't give up. We get up.
Barack Obama
My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.
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
At the dawn of the 21st century, where knowledge is literally power, where it unlocks the gates of opportunity and success, we all have responsibilities as parents, as librarians, as educators, as politicians, and as citizens to instill in our children a love of reading so that we can give them a chance to fulfill their dreams.
Barack Obama
The truth is that, in trying to get at terrorists who are in countries that either are unwilling or unable to capture those terrorists or disable them themselves, there are a lot of situations where the use of a drone is going to result in much fewer civilian casualties and much less collateral damage than if I send in a battalion of marines.
Barack Obama
Our intelligence agencies will continue to gather information about the intentions of governments - as opposed to ordinary citizens - around the world, in the same way that the intelligence services of every other nation does. We will not apologize simply because our services may be more effective.
Barack Obama
When our sailors in the Persian Gulf accidentally strayed into Iranian waters, that could have sparked a major international incident. Some folks here in Washington rushed to declare that it was the start of another hostage crisis. Instead, we worked directly with the Iranian government and secured the release of our sailors in less than 24 hours.
Barack Obama
My mother was the one constant in my life. When I think about my mom raising me alone when she was 20, and working and paying the bills, and, you know, trying to pursue your own dreams, I think is a feat that is unmatched.
Barack Obama
With respect to Russia, my principal approach to Russia has been constant since I first came into office. Russia is an important country. It is a military superpower. It has influence in the region and it has influence around the world.
Barack Obama
It betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.
Barack Obama
Every life must be given the chance to realize its full potential - that every life matters.
Barack Obama
We should never forget that God granted us the power to reason so that we would do His work here on Earth - so that we would use science to cure disease, and heal the sick, and save lives.
Barack Obama
... the country deserves us to be willing to compromise on behalf of the greater good.
Barack Obama
Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals.
Barack Obama
