[About his marijuana use] I did. It's not something that I'm proud of. It was a mistake as a young man, but you know? I mean not going to -- I never understood that line. The point was to inhale. That was the point.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

Jobs was brave enough to thin...

Jobs was brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

I will never forget who this ...

I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

But I'm here to say that when...

But I'm here to say that when we do speak out, we're going to do so because the United States of America does believe, and will always stand for, a certain set of universal values.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

We need to find a way forward to make sure that we can stop terrorists while protecting the privacy, and liberty, of innocent Americans.

I don't mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made, that's what I signed up to do

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

And with iPods and iPads, and...

And with iPods and iPads, and Xboxes and PlayStations - none of which I know how to work - information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

The soldier 's courage and sa...

The soldier 's courage and sacrifice is full of glory , expressing devotion to country , to cause, to comrades in arms. But war itself is never glorious , and we must never trumpet it as such.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

Year after year, an ideologic...

Year after year, an ideological and economic barrier hardened between our two countries, meanwhile, the Cuban exile community in the United States made enormous contributions to our country, in politics, in business, culture and sports.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

Heaven forbid we've got a pro...

Heaven forbid we've got a problem where we could have prevented a terrorist attack or apprehended someone who is engaged in dangerous activity, but we didn't do so simply because of inaction in the Senate.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

If we have the kinds of confi...

If we have the kinds of confirmation that we need, we will once again work with the international community and the organization charged with monitoring compliance by the Syrian government, and we will reach out to patrons of Assad like Russia to put a stop to it.

Africa is on the move; a new Africa is emerging!

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

The people there, the communi...

The people there, the community, the lessons that I learned -- they're all based right in this few square miles where we'll now be able to give something back and bring the world back home after this incredible journey.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

Let's also make sure that a h...

Let's also make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on a path to a good job. Right now, countries like Germany focus on graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a technical degree from one of our community colleges, so that they're ready for a job. At schools like P-TECh in Brooklyn ... students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in computers or engineering. We need to give every American student opportunities like this.

That is the true genius of America-a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

We need to spend a trillion dollars rebuilding our schools, our roads, our basic science and research here in the United States.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

This is our first task-caring...

This is our first task-caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

The notion that we would cond...

The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won't sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms. And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

We have a choice. We can shap...

We have a choice. We can shape our future, or let events shape it for us. And if we want to succeed, we can't fall back on the stale debates and old divides that won't move us forward.

Barack Obama 2263 quotes

I've been struck by how hungry we all are for a different kind of politics. So I've spent some time thinking about how I could best advance the cause of change and progress that we so desperately need.
