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

#Keep dreaming.
“Keep asking why.

Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.
Barack Obama Quotes

Barack Obama Quotes

Barack Obama

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.
Barack Obama Quotes

what can I buy, how nice is my house,
what kind of fancy car do I have? – over the long term,

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

All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time.

I’ve come to embrace the notion that I haven’t done enough in my life. I’ve come to confirm that one’s title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one’s life has been led.
No matter how much you’ve done or how successful you’ve been, there’s always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.
