Barack Obama Quotes, Courage Quotes, Purpose Quotes

I will never forget that the only reason I'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn't popular.

And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
