4 August: Barack Obama Quotes

This date in 1961 was the birthdate of US President Barack Obama. 10 quotes:

1. We are reminded that, in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.

2. 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.

3. You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

4. Change is never easy, but always possible.

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

6. Our destiny is not written for us, but by us.

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

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

9. A change is brought about because ordinary people do extraordinary things.

10. You can't always come up with the optimal solution, but you can usually come up with a better solution.

I also write novels and short stories. If you like superheroes, psychic detectives and general weirdness you might enjoy them.
