More quotes by 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
We have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
Michelle Obama
The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.
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
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
It's important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that's grieving and there's been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.
Michelle Obama
What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity that also becomes useful . . . Great designers also pursue a mission. Great designers design with mankind in mind . . . The crossroads of science and art, innovation and inspiration are what I love about design.
Michelle Obama
Over the years I've become more confident in people's ability to recognize a good thing.
Michelle Obama
If we truly believe that every girl in every corner of the globe is worthy of an education as our own daughters and granddaughters are, then we need to deepen our commitment to these efforts.
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
We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.
Michelle Obama
We as parents are our children's first and best role models, and this is particularly true when it comes to their health. ...We can't lie around on the couch eating French fries and candy bars and expect our kids to eat carrots and run around the block.
Michelle Obama
I believe that each of us-no matter what our age or background or walk of life-each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
Michelle Obama
There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.
Michelle Obama
Success is only meaningful - and enjoyable - if it feels like your own.
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
Millions of Americans who know that Barack understands their dreams that Barack will fight for people like them and that Barack will finally bring the change we need.
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
'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.
Michelle Obama
Service is a limitless opportunity, it is the reason why we breathe.
