"For the first time in our history,..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“When people see opportunity, when they have a sense of control of their own destiny, then they're less vulnerable to the propaganda and twisted ideologies that have been attracting young people - particularly being turbocharged through social media.”

“I believe that we have better ideas. But I also believe that good ideas don't matter if people don't hear them.”

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

“I eat like a vulture. Unfortunately the resemblance doesn't end there.”

“It's a funny old world. A man's lucky if he gets out of it alive.”

“Editorials are written by people who have agreed to have several strong opinions a day and to write them down, provided they do not have to sign their names.”

“I transmit but do not create. I place my trust in the teachings of antiquity.”

“I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.”

“But it is fit that the Past should be dark; though the darkness is not so much a quality of the past as of tradition. It is not adistance of time, but a distance of relation, which makes thus dusky its memorials. What is near to the heart of this generation is fair and bright still. Greece lies outspread fair and sunshiny in floods of light, for there is the sun and daylight in her literature and art. Homer does not allow us to forget that the sun shone,--nor Phidias, nor the Parthenon.”
