“We Are Made For This Moment”

Some favorite quotes from today’s inspiring speech:

“My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.”

“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still…”

“Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts,” he said to an eruption of cheers and applause.

“Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”

“We cannot… substitute spectacle for politics.”

“We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect.”

“Let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.”

Inspiring words.

On a less lofty note, love the bangs Michelle!

    Thank you for this! I often feel disconnected from the US being so far away. Very happy to read some inspiring words.
