“Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.”

One thing I don’t like is when you disrespect the law.

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.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law

We don’t ask you to believe in our ability to bring change, rather, we ask you to believe in yours.

We don’t ask you to believe in our ability to bring change, rather, we ask you to believe in yours.

Don’t shortchange the future, because of fear in the present.

The real test is not whether you avoid failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it.

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

We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.

Reading is important. If you know how to read then the whole world opens up to you

Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important.

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world.

Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

Persevere. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

I want every young man who sees me to know that I’m not that different from them. I wasn’t born into wealth. I wasn’t born into fame. I made a lot of mistakes – but I kept at it.

There is nothing permanent except change.

I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

Take a moment to look back. Change the process slightly from your discovery. Start again.

Everyone’s opinions about things change over time. Nothing is constant. Everything changes. And to hold onto some dogged idea forever is a little rigid and maybe naive.

One day, you will be life-changing to someone.

Change allows us to live as the best version of ourselves.

What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.

Such minor changes, such huge consequences.
