Quote

My greatest responsibility is to acknowledge the mistakes and the shortcomings of the country in which I live, to acknowledge my privileges, and to try to make it a better place.

My responsibility as president is to take care to solve the problems we are facing now and to provide a vision and direction for how our nation should advance in the future.

I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.

What helped me was I had people around me to remind me to help my country even when it did me wrong, have respect for my people, my family, my nation and mankind.

For some reason, I had a responsibility to my family and the people who lived around me. I felt that I had to convey their dignity - the way they dealt with adversity and poverty - and their good humor.

I come from election, I come from the people. I owe gratitude to our people. I do everything for the good of the country and the people.

I am here to accept responsibility for that which I did. I will not accept responsibility for that which I did not do.

I have a responsibility to devote my energy to my country and my people.

I'm just becoming more and more aware of this truly profound responsibility that we carry as individuals. And it's a responsibility not only to ourselves and to our families, but to the billions of people who still have to come in the future who will be dealing with our legacy.
