Dear NSA, quotes aren´t codes.

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.

We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.

In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.

We can't get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can't just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
