"While we breathe, we will hope...." - Quote by Barack Obama

“If you want to know who we are, who America is, how we respond to evil-that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.”

“What I could not support was a dumb war, a rash war, a war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.”

“Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science.”

“I have often been downcast, but never in despair.”

“My greatest hope is to be able to pass the same dreams and hopes and vision that I've been able to enjoy in my life, on to the next generation. Not just for my children - because with a mother like Michelle, my kids are going to be great - but for all children. There are too many children in this country for whom the American dream is so distant and the odds against them are so daunting.”

“What I'm asking for is hard. It's easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn't possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don't matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.”

“If you can go through the pain period, you make it to be a champion. If you can't go through it, forget it. And that's what most people lack: having the guts - the guts to go in and just say... "I don't care what happens"”

“Even today, if my title hadn't been given back to me and I was in such poverty where I had to go and find a job, I would have done that.”

“Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.”
