More quotes by Michelle Obama
We're our kids' first and best role models. So the first question is, what are you as a mom or a dad doing every day, or every week, to start getting into the good habits?
Michelle Obama
As always, many of our troops are far from home this [Christmas] time of year, and their families are serving and sacrificing right along with them. Their courage and dedication allow the rest of us to enjoy this season. That's why we've tried to serve them as well as they've served this country.
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
It's always positive to hear how many people are willing to step up - whether it is the employment community, mental health community, or medical community.
Michelle Obama
What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity that also becomes useful.
Michelle Obama
People have notions of what a wife's role should be in this process, and it's been a traditional one of blind adoration. My model is a little different - I think most real marriages are.
Michelle Obama
Together, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.
Michelle Obama
We are living in a time where we just don't have enough time. People are rushed. They're over worked, over scheduled. Not enough resources. ...But the thing that I want people to understand in this campaign is that families can make small manageable changes in their lives that can have pretty significant impacts.
Michelle Obama
First and foremost, I wear what I love. That's what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.
Michelle Obama
I never thought I'd be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird. I'm still thrilled. I'm on a high.
Michelle Obama
There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.
Michelle Obama
Not everybody is going to run a marathon or do a triathlon. It's not necessary to do that to be in good health.
Michelle Obama
There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.
Michelle Obama
Barack and I have been in the public eye for many years now, and we've developed a thick skin along the way. When you're out campaigning, there will always be criticism. I just take it in stride, and at the end of the day, I know that it comes with the territory.
Michelle Obama
I think the most moving part of my trip [to Africa] so far was seeing 92-year-old Nelson Mandela, and just thinking about his life. This man has lived through a struggle that few nations have known.
Michelle Obama
When I'm unhappy with something, people know, because I don't want to hold on to it. I'd rather deal immediately with the stuff that bothers me, so using my network - my girlfriends, my husband, my mom - I talk a lot, I vent.
Michelle Obama
I think I'm probably more typical of the average American who doesn't have a connection to a military community.
Michelle Obama
Child hunger and child obesity are really just two sides of the same coin. Both rob our children of the energy, the strength and the stamina they need to succeed in school and in life. And that, in turn, robs our country of so much of their promise.
Michelle Obama
Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost.
Michelle Obama
Good health is multifaceted - it's physical, it's internal, it's my diet, and my emotional state. It's all tied in together.
