Barack Obama

One of the greatest speeches I´ve ever heard. Take the time and listen to this great man, his values and profound knowledge.

One thing comes to my mind when I listen to it:

The thing that impresses me the most is that he recognized that we can only reach our goal of a peaceful world by trusting in each other, working together as allies and standing as one. Unity is not only a christian principle.

Take a glance at this great speech. And if you happen to have no time at all, I picked some quotes and wrote ´em down below.




- Tonight I don´t speak to you as a candidate for president. I come to you as a proud citizen of the United States and as a proud citizen of the world.

- Berlin, the city of all cities knows the dream of freedom. The people of Berlin refused to give up.

- People of the world, look at Berlin: Where Germans and Americans learned to work together and trust each other less than 3 years after facing each other on the field of battle.

- Look at Berlin where a wall came down and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one.

- The greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us frome each other. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, christians, muslims and jews can not stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.

- Partnership among nations is not a choice. It´s the only way, the one way to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.

- This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons !

- Let us resolve that we will not leave our children to a world where oceans rise and the famines spread and terrible storms devastate our lands.

- Our (the U.S.) allegiance has never been to any particular tribe or kingdom. Indeed every language is spoken in our country, every culture has left its imprint on ours.
