More quotes by Barack Obama
I do think that you're starting to see young people pay attention to some longterm issues that they feel Washington has neglected.
Barack Obama
When people see opportunity, when they have a sense of control of their own destiny, then they're less vulnerable to the propaganda and twisted ideologies that have been attracting young people - particularly being turbocharged through social media.
Barack Obama
What matters is how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives around us better.
Barack Obama
We've been able to organize the international community around it in ways that aren't going to go back.
Barack Obama
How do we in the African American community build a culture in which we are saying to our kids, Here's what it takes to succeed. Here's the sacrifices you need to make to be able to get ahead. Here's how we support each other. Here's how we look out for each other.
Barack Obama
America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive diversity and openness an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it - so long as we seize it together.
Barack Obama
The quibble I have with President [Barack] Obama is,and I think some other people will have it, too is that the rhetoric is fine, and identifying the problem is fine. But it`s to use a football analogy, he sort of pushes it into the red zone, and then tends to settle for a field goal.
Barack Obama
My view is that discrimination against anyone at the ballot box is wrong and should have the full enforcement of the federal government.
Barack Obama
I think at times of significant stress people are going to be looking for something and they don't always know exactly what it is that they're looking for and they may opt for change even if they're not entirely confident what that change will bring.
Barack Obama
America, our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden. But as Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead.
Barack Obama
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.
Barack Obama
If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.
Barack Obama
The most important thing we can do is to make sure that we've got very high standards, we expect a lot out of all of our young people, and we make sure that we have the best teachers possible in every classroom.
Barack Obama
There are enormous resources in Greece.
Barack Obama
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
Societies in which we are able to unify ourselves around values and ideals and character and how we treat each other and cooperation and innovation, ultimately are gonna be more successful than societies that don't.
Barack Obama
The amount of interaction, the amount of understanding that exists in your generation among people of different races and different creeds and different colors is unprecedented. And by the way, that goes - that cuts across party lines, that cuts across partisan lines.
Barack Obama
All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.
Barack Obama
The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
Barack Obama
I think that Mr. Snowden raised some legitimate concerns. How he did it was something that did not follow the procedures and practices of our intelligence community. If everybody took the approach that I make my own decisions about these issues, then it would be very hard to have an organized government or any kind of national security system.
Barack Obama
