The best Barack Obama Quotes
We are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth or status or power or fame, but rather how well we have Loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.
Barack Obama
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day.
Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength.
It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something and then allows you to learn something new.
Barack Obama Quotes

Hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path.
It’s not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight.
Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it.
Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.
Barack Obama Quotes
What we can do is to live out our lives as best we can with purpose, and love, and joy.

We can learn from our mistakes and grow from our failures. And we can strive at all costs to make a better world.

The way to live a full life is to think: What can I do for others!

The public school system is not about educating black children. Never has been.
Inner-city schools are about social control. Period. They’re operated as holding pens—miniature jails, really.
