"We are not going to be able..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.”

“While we may not live to see the full realization of our ambition, we will have the satisfaction of knowing that the world we leave to our children will be better off for what we did.”

“Our unalienable right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, those rights were stripped from college kids in Blackburg and Santa Barbara, and from high schoolers at Columbine. And, and from first graders in Newtown, first graders.”

“State visits are often an opportunity for the United States to reaffirm our ties and friendship with our closest partners around the world.”

“Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.”

“Passionate attachment to another nation produces a variety of evils... the illusion of common interests where no real common interests exist; adopting the enmities of the other; and participation in the quarrels and wars of the other without any justification. Still another evil is that such a passionate attachment gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens the facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country.”

“I'm not sure we have the right strategy in Afghanistan. Let me think this over for a few months.”

“It still puts burden on some troops of ours who are there [in Afghanistan and Iraq] as advisors and facilitators.”

“We've been able to build up the Afghan security forces and stabilize it.”
