"We are committed to a world in..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations”

“Peace is not merely the absence of visible conflict.”

“The profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It's that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country - a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old - is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past.”

“We will send ships and Marines as soon as possible for the protection of American life and property.”

“And terrorists who seek to harm our citizens will feel the long arm of American justice.”

“For the sake of our security, our economy and our planet, we must have the courage and commitment to change.”

“I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need.”

“You can always rely on America to do the right thing -- once it has exhausted the alternatives.”

“In America, we hurry-which is well; but when the day's work is done, we go on thinking of losses and gains, we plan for the morrow, we even carry our business cares to bed with us...we burn up our energies with these excitements, and either die early or drop into a lean and mean old age at a time of life which they call a man's prime in Europe...What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges!”
