I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.

Here in the West, people often don’t like listening to their leaders, even if they are right.

Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I’m not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that’s why they identify with me.

Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

Leadership is a choice, not a position.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

We walk together, we move together, we think together, we resolve together, and together we take this country forward.

My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty… it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.

People make a big fuss over you when you’re President. But I’m very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t go to my head.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.

I can move any crowd.

Founding a company is hard. Most of it isn’t smooth. You’ll have to make very hard decisions. You have to fire a few people. Therefore, if you don’t believe in your mission, giving up is easy. The majority of founders give up. But the best founders don’t give up.

To lead people walk behind them.

Political courage is not political suicide.

What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?

One man with courage is a majority.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

I’m going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you’re not going to believe it.

Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.

The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you – black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead – they call us.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I’ll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

Don’t be dependent. At all. Ever. Period.

I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

I’m very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.

Rule number one is: Beat your team-mate.

When the players go home, I can’t tell them what to do, so you need to create an atmosphere of trust. I don’t want to think, ‚What are they doing now? Do I need to call them?‘

I have only one counsel for you – be master.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

The President’s post should not be politicised. Once a president is elected, he is above politics.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

The mob is the mother of tyrants.
