More quotes by Michelle Obama
I look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn't think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I'd like to think comes from the years of attention we've put into this.
Michelle Obama
Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.
Michelle Obama
The idea that we are our brother's keeper and our sister's keeper. That we should treat others as we would want to be treated. And that we care for the sick... feed the hungry... and welcome the stranger... no matter where they come from, or how they practice their faith.
Michelle Obama
Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.
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
Do not die in the history of your past hurts and past experiences, but live in the now and future of your destiny.
Michelle Obama
Politics is a waste of time.
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
To be a good parent, you need to take care of yourself so that you can have the physical and emotional energy to take care of your family.
Michelle Obama
People want to feel hopeful.
Michelle Obama
I feel fortunate as a woman to have a husband who loves me and shows me in every way.
Michelle Obama
I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in my position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.
Michelle Obama
We're all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it's hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids' plates.
Michelle Obama
An educational foundation is only part of the equation. In order for creativity to flourish and imagination to take hold, we also need to expose our children to the arts from a very young age.
Michelle Obama
No, I think that if he had known he would be president, he would have started dying his hair, like, 10 years ago. Now it's too late.
Michelle Obama
It should be fun introducing kids to fruits and vegetables. If you start young, it will be something that they'll attach to really quickly.
Michelle Obama
I've always tried to make sure that what I do really connects with the broader agenda of what my husband Barack Obama is trying to do.... But I also find that I have to be very passionate myself about the issue to be able to represent it well. One of the big issues that I've talked a lot about...is childhood health, nutrition and obesity.
Michelle Obama
It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.
Michelle Obama
Fashion is not just about what we wear, but...fashion is also a business. It is an art, it's a career that involves science, engineering, accounting and so much more. People can learn about the math behind Charles James' designs, and think, 'Maybe I should pay closer attention to geometry this semester'
Michelle Obama
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.
Michelle Obama
