More quotes by Barack Obama
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
Barack Obama
I can say with confidence that I never bought into the hype, and I made sure that the people around me didn't buy into the hype, and I did not surround myself with people who fed me the hype. And I'm glad of that as well.
Barack Obama
We'll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people.
Barack Obama
Effective immediately, we will only pursue phone calls that are two steps removed from a number associated with a terrorist organization instead of three.
Barack Obama
There is a big part of me that has a writer's sensibility. And so that's how I think. That's how I pursue truth. That's how I hope to communicate truth to people.
Barack Obama
The globe is shrinking, the information age is bringing a lot of changes. People are anxious about their future and their children's futures.
Barack Obama
I think my most important advice is to understand what are the foundations of a healthy democracy and how we have to engage in citizenship continuously, not just when something upsets us not just when there's an election or when an issue pops up for a few weeks. It's hard work.
Barack Obama
Here's what I can tell the American people: 95 percent of you will get a tax cut. And if you make less than $250,000, less than a quarter-million dollars a year, then you will not see one dime's worth of tax increase.
Barack Obama
We've come to be consumed by a 24-hour, slash-and-burn, negative ad, bickering, small-minded politics that doesn't move us forward. Sometimes one side is up and the other side is down. But there's no sense that they are coming together in a common-sense, practical, nonideological way to solve the problems that we face.
Barack Obama
You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.
Barack Obama
Unlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country's energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers.
Barack Obama
With the magnitude of the challenges we face right now, what we need in Washington are not more political tactics, we need more good ideas. We don't need more point scoring, we need more problem solving.
Barack Obama
Don't let your failures define you.
Barack Obama
I don't want my generals or my defense secretary or my national-security team to ever feel deploying weapons to kill people as routine or abstract, even if the targets are bad people.
Barack Obama
I know there are problems that I say to myself, If maybe I was a little more gifted I might have been able to solve. But that's not because I believe what I did was a mistake. It's that maybe it required the talents of a Lincoln.
Barack Obama
What we should be asking is not whether we need a big government or small government, but how we can create a smarter and better government.
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
You like pie? I like pie.
Barack Obama
That applies, by the way, even to some of the folks who are now [Donald] Trump supporters. They're responding to a fictional character named Barack Obama who they see on Fox News or who they hear about through Rush Limbaugh.
Barack Obama
What is the empathy deficit? The inability of people to stand in other folks shoes. It's hard to empathize with people who have different values than you
Barack Obama
