Quote by Barack Obama (b. 1961)

• We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it.

• America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

• We cannot meet 21st Century challenges with a 20th Century bureaucracy.

• We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check; we've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

• If you're tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try talking to one in real life.

• We are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight.
