"I'm going to tell the American people..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.”

“Abraham Lincoln and Millard Fillmore had the same title. They were both presidents of the United States, but their tenure in office and their legacy could not be more different.”

“I think that at a certain stage those early ambitions burn away, partly because you achieve something, you get something done, you get some notoriety. And then the particularities of who you are and what your deepest commitments are begin expressing themselves. You're not just chasing the idea of "me" being important, but you, rather, are chasing a particular passion.”

“Markets will rise and fall, but this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple A country.”

“THIS dust was once the Man, / Gentle, plain, just and resolute—under whose cautious hand, / Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age, / Was saved the Union of These States.”

“This country was founded and built by people with great dreams and the courage to take great risks.”

“In lightness the root is lost. In haste the ruler is lost.”

“On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.”

“Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.”
