More quotes by Michelle Obama
With this new initiative, Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the United States. And what I hope every company will do going forward when it comes to the ads they show and the food they sell they're asking themselves one simple question: Is this good for our kids?
Michelle Obama
Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you
Michelle Obama
Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts ... good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with.
Michelle Obama
The issues facing working women and their families are closest to my heart. I decided to focus intently on the challenges military wives face because they juggle the same pressures as their nonmilitary peers, all while coping as single parents while their loved ones are overseas. I wanted to help make their voices heard.
Michelle Obama
Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.

Being president isn't anything like reality TV.
Michelle Obama
And that's my message to voters, this isn't about Barack, it's not about person on that ballot -- its about you. And for most of the people we are talking to [blacks], a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on, regardless of who said what or did this -- that shouldn't even come into the equation.
Michelle Obama
Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.
Michelle Obama
Being a healthy woman isn't about getting on a scale or measuring your waistline. We need to start focusing on what matters-on how we feel, and how we feel about ourselves.
Michelle Obama
I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of.
Michelle Obama
Fashion is about so much more than just a pretty pair of pumps or the perfect hemline. For so many people across the country, it is a calling, it is a career, and it's a way they feed their families.
Michelle Obama
The one thing I believe is that families are off-limits. And I think my husband said it, and he was clear on that. And I totally agree with him.
Michelle Obama
My sense is that being a First Lady is a full-time job, but I'll know more when the time comes.
Michelle Obama
You all have opportunities and skills and education that so many folks who came before you never could have dreamed of. So just imagine the kind of impact that you're going to make. Imagine how you can inspire those around you to reach higher and complete their own education.
Michelle Obama
Together, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.
Michelle Obama
I've seen how the issues that come across a president's desk are always the hard ones - the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer.
Michelle Obama
What I know for sure is that all the sacrifice and challenges we face are worth it if we're creating a better future for our kids. I just think if the adults are always thinking about the world we want to leave for our kids, we're going to make the right choices every single time.
Michelle Obama
Your word is your bond, you do what you say you're going to do.
Michelle Obama
Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
