More quotes by Michelle Obama
I am only as good as my children are.
Michelle Obama
We're [President Barack Obama and I] clear on the fact that we have to stay humble and prayerful. We have to dig down deep to our roots. When things come together, we know some of it is Barack, some of it is us-but a lot of it has nothing to do with either of us.
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
I felt, as a lawyer, when I was mentoring and working with kids, that I gained a level of groundedness that I just couldn't get sitting on the forty-seventh floor of a fancy firm. Selfishly, it gives me joy - it makes me feel like my life has a purpose.
Michelle Obama
It's been so important that the Chamber of Commerce, for example, has hosted hiring fairs that are specifically targeted to military communities.
Michelle Obama
Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.
Michelle Obama
Wounded Warriors tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and they're going to run marathons!
Michelle Obama
As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.
Michelle Obama
You've got to make choices that make sense for you because there's always going to be somebody who'll think you should do something differently.
Michelle Obama
You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still 'mom-in-chief.' My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.
Michelle Obama
We have to make sure that our kids still feel good about themselves no matter what their weight, no matter how they feel. We need to make sure that our kids know that we love them no matter who they are, what they look like, what they're eating.
Michelle Obama
I grew up on the south side of Chicago in a working class community. There were no miracles in my life, there's nothing miraculous about how I grew up, and I want people to know when they look at me, to be clear that they see what an investment in public education can look like.
Michelle Obama
I want to send a very clear message to the men and women who are wearing - or who have worn - our country's uniform and to their spouses: when you have finished your service to our nation, you've got 2,000 great American companies ready and waiting to bring you on board
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
You can be a good mom and still work out, get your rest, have a career - or not. My mother encouraged me to find that balance.
Michelle Obama
My happiness isn't connected to my husband's or my boss's or my children's behavior. You have control over your own actions, your own well-being.
Michelle Obama
Find people who will make you better.
Michelle Obama
A lot of young people think they're invincible, but the truth is young people are knuckleheads... Now young people can get insurance for as little as $50 a month, less than the cost of gym shoes.
Michelle Obama
But, as potentially the first African American first lady, I was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. Was I too loud, or too angry, or too emasculating? Or was I too soft, too much of a mom, not enough of a career woman?
Michelle Obama
We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.
Michelle Obama
