"Whenever I look at the history of..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“So Americans understand the costs of war. Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are.”

“We reward people a lot for being rich, for being famous, for being cute, for being thin... one of the values I think we need to instill in our country, in our children, is a sense of 'usefulness', in other words, are we useful, are we making other peoples' lives a little bit better?”

“America is governed by rules of law, and those are not ones that the President of the United States or anybody else can just set aside for the sake of expediency Even when we are deeply supportive of Turkish democracy, and even when we care deeply about any attempts to overthrow their government or any other illegal actions, we've got to go through a legal process.”

“It's time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.”

“If we grow weary and give up, the goal remains for someone else to achieve.”

“Every time passionate people fail, they are convinced that they are simply one step closer to fulfilling their dream.”

“The hope of the world is still in dedicated minorities. The trail-blazers in human, scientific and religious freedom have always been in a minority.”

“It's not leadership by position that allows people to succeed; it's the capacity to influence the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, and the actions of other human beings.”

“A man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice.”
