1. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

　　如果我们一直等着别人或以后，改变是不会到来的。我们自己就是我们在等待的人。我们自己就是我们寻求的改变。

　　2. If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.

　　如果你走在正确的道路上，并且愿意继续走下去，那你总有一天会取得进步。

　　3. The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.

　　未来奖励那些坚持下去的人。我没有时间为自己感到难过。我没有时间抱怨。我要坚持下去。

　　4. Why can't I just eat my waffle?

　　为什么我不能吃我的华夫饼?

　　5. We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.

　　我们需要内化这个卓越的想法。没有多少人愿意花这么多时间来变得这么优秀。

　　6. In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

　　我们被警告不要向这个民族的人提供虚假的希望。但美国不呢神就是个不可能的故事，从来没有任何希望是假的。

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

　　并不存在一个自由美国和一个保守美国的区别 - 只有团结的美利坚合众国。

　　8. Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.

　　金钱不是唯一的答案，但它的作用非常可观。

　　9. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

　　如果人们不能相信他们的政府做它该做的事 - 保护他们和促进他们的共同福利 - 那我们就完全失败了。

　　10. If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.

　　最后，这就是这次选举。我们是否参与愤世嫉俗的政治或希望的政治?
