“It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.”President Obama

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your ture potential.”President Obama

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”President Obama

“Everyone should try to realize their full potential.” President Obama

“That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people; the insistence on small miracles.” President Obama

“Life doesn’t count for much unless you’re willing to do your small part to leave our children – all of our children – a better world. Even if it’s difficult. Even if the work seems great. Even if we don’t get very far in our lifetime.”President Obama

“Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.”President Obama

“That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people; the insistence on small miracles.”President Obama

“With a changing economy, no one has lifetime employment. But community colleges provide lifetime employability.”President Obama

“Hope – hope in the face of difficulty. Hope is the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us; the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.”President Obama

“My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barrack, or bless, believing that in a tolerant America your name is not barrier to success.”President Obama

“We can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door.”President Obama

“Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.”President Obama
