More quotes by Barack Obama
It's also wonderful to be back with my great friend and ally, Chancellor [Angela] Merkel. As I reflect back over the last eight years, I could not ask for a steadier or more reliable partner on the world stage, often through some very challenging times.
Barack Obama
I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Barack Obama
It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
Barack Obama
I remember reading [ Studs Terkel's] Working when it first came out and just finding that very powerful. I was going into community organizing. What stuck was to reveal the sacredness of ordinary people's lives. That everybody has a story. And I think Studs is terrific at drawing out that shimmering quality of people's everyday struggles.
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
After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.
Barack Obama
Keep in mind that, when I came in, we had had a crisis that was the worst we've seen since the 1930s, and working with people like Chancellor Merkel, working with the G-20 and other institutions internationally, we were able to stabilize the financial system, stabilize the US economy and return to growth.
Barack Obama
I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.
Barack Obama
No two countries are identical, and obviously, there's a difference between a referendum on a very complex relationship between Great Britain and the rest of Europe, and a presidential election in the United States.
Barack Obama
In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Barack Obama
For decades, this great leader, often at Dr. King’s side, was denied his rightful place in history because he was openly gay. No medal can change that, but today, we honor Bayard Rustin’s memory by taking our place in his march towards true equality, no matter who we are or who we love.
Barack Obama
If you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference, then other voices will fill the void
Barack Obama
If you look at Libya, I was deeply concerned about what would happen after Qaddafi was gone.
Barack Obama
While the future is unknowable, the winds always blow in the direction of human progress.
Barack Obama
I'm not denouncing the church, and I'm not interested in people who want me to denounce the church. It's not a church worthy of denouncing.
Barack Obama
Today’s decision was a victory for people all across this country whose lives will be more secure.
Barack Obama
I can say across Europe that many principles that have been taken for granted here around free speech, and around civil liberties and an independent judiciary, and fighting corruption, those are principles that, you know, not perfectly but generally, we have tried to apply not just in our own country but also with respect to our foreign policy.
Barack Obama
We don't really have any kind of regulatory structure at all.
Barack Obama
It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth - a rising, thriving middle class.
Barack Obama
Persevere. Nothing worthwhile is easy.
Barack Obama
