"Change
will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We
are the ones we've been waiting
for. We are the change that we seek."
"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep
walking, eventually you'll make progress."
"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are
today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of
making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit
better than the one we inhabit today."
Barack Obama |
