My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she’s not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that’s a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.
Barack Obama

Most people who meet my wife quickly conclude that she is remarkable. They are right about this. She is smart, funny and thoroughly charming.
Often, after hearing her speak at some function or working with her on a project, people will approach me and say something to the effect of, you know, I think the world of you, Barack, but your wife, wow!
Barack Obama

The country is not as polarized as our politics would suggest.
Barack Obama

We have a stake in one another … what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and ... if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done for the people with whom we share this Earth.
Barack Obama

If we aren't willing to pay a price for our values, then we should ask ourselves whether we truly believe in them at all.
Barack Obama

It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.
Barack Obama

You know, there's a lot of talk in this country about the federal deficit. But I think we should talk more about our empathy deficit - the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the world through the eyes of those who are different from us – the child who's hungry, the steelworker who's been laid-off, the family who lost the entire life they built together when the storm came to town.
When you think like this – when you choose to broaden your ambit of concern and empathize with the plight of others, whether they are close friends or distant strangers – it becomes harder not to act; harder not to help.
Barack Obama

When people are judged by merit, not connections, then the best and brightest can lead the country, people will work hard, and the entire economy will grow - everyone will benefit and more resources will be available for all, not just select groups.
Barack Obama

I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership.
And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.
Barack Obama

America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes. It is this hope that has sustained us through revolution and civil war, depression and world war, a struggle for civil and social rights and the brink of nuclear crisis.
And it is because our dreamers dreamed that we have emerged from each challenge more united, more prosperous, and more admired than before.
Barack Obama

Faith doesn't mean that you don't have doubts.
Barack Obama

Americans…still believe in an America where anything's possible – they just don't think their leaders do.
Barack Obama

The true test of the American ideal is whether we’re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them.
Barack Obama

In the end, no amount of American forces can solve the political differences that lie at the heart of somebody else's civil war.
Barack Obama

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
Barack Obama

Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in 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.
Barack Obama

People are very hungry for something new. I think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years.
Barack Obama

If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.
Barack Obama

Keynote speech to Democratic National Convention, July 2004. Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy.
Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
Barack Obama

I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
Barack Obama

We've gotta restore the American people's confidence in the ethics process by ensuring that political self-interest can no longer prevent politicians from enforcing ethics rules.
Barack Obama

We have to acknowledge the progress we made, but understand that we still have a long way to go. That things are better, but still not good enough.
Barack Obama

Americans…still believe in an America where anything's possible -- they just don't think their leaders do.
Barack Obama

She was the cornerstone of our family and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances.
Barack Obama

On alleged links to former radical Bill Ayers, who carried out a series of bombings in the 1960s, said during final US TV presidential debate, October 15, 2008. You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig.
Barack Obama
