Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.

Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.

And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
