Just a few days ago, former American President Barack Obama delivered his farewell speech at the McCormack Place in his adoptive home, Chicago, to a live audience of 20,000 people (according to NBC News) and millions more watching.
It was extremely memorable, and one the world would not forget.
Thus, today we are sharing not just one, but six quotes, from the one and only 44th President of the United States.

"Change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it." ~Barack Obama
"Not that our nation has been flawless from the start, but that we have shown the capacity to change." ~Barack Obama
"We must uphold laws against discrimination...But laws alone won't be enough. Hearts must change." ~Barack Obama
"Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are." ~Barack Obama
"I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours." ~Barack Obama
"I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents; that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists; that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice; that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon; a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written: yes, we can. Yes, we did. Yes, we can." ~Barack Obama
