“It is moments like these that force us to try harder, and dig deeper, and to discover gifts we never knew we had – to find the greatness that lies within each of us.”

We are the change we have been waiting for.

What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it’s the courage to raise one.

Love and hope can conquer hate.

To be black was to be the beneficiary of a great inheritance, a special destiny, glorious burdens that only we were strong enough to bear.

If you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference, then other voices will fill the void.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Together we resolve that a great nation must care for the vulnerable and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.

There is no excuse for not trying.

Each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness. No one deserves to be bullied.

The opportunity will not remain open indefinitely.

Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

When times get tough, we don’t give up. We get up.

The future must not belong to those who bully women. It must be shaped by girls who go to school and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.

Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up.

Yes We Can!

Hope – 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. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

Every birth has its significant lifetime miracles. We are supposed to forget all but we are also supposed to remember again. The veil of oblivion exists to make it more interesting to discover ourselves again.

The truth lies within us, we just have to discover it.

Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

There is so much to discover in a world full of colors. Paint your future with the brightest shades. 

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness.
