"[This book] embodies the Buddhist wisdom about change, life, and the
world more than anything written after the events of that day."

OBAMA'S WORDS OF WISDOM -- IN CAIRO

“America does not presume to know what is best for everyone, just as we would not presume to pick the outcome of a peaceful election. But I do have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice; government that is transparent and doesn't steal from the people; the freedom to live as you choose. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.”

--President Barack Obama
Cairo, June 4, 2009
