"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."
"The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope."
"The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on."
"The audacity of hope is not just about how well you can give a speech. It's about whether or not you are able to inspire people to get outside of themselves and to believe in something bigger than themselves, and to move in the direction of something that is good for all people."
"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress."
