2009, First Inaugural Address (January 2009)
Context: We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
“In moments of fragility we need to stop, relax, turn off every type of thought, and start again from ourselves.”
Original: Nei momenti di fragilità abbiamo bisogno di fermarci, rilassarci, spegnere ogni tipo di pensiero, e ricominciare da noi stessi.
