“But know this America: we will meet them”

“Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.”

“America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do.”

“There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.”

“We must lift ourselves up, dust ourselfs off and begin the work of remaking America.”

“And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.”

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.”b”
