What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity that also becomes useful.
Michelle Obama
Kids, everybody can get behind. It's a bipartisan thing. We care about our kids' health. But the truth is, it's very important for us to talk to parents, in particular mothers, because it's really our self-esteem, it's our initiative.
Michelle Obama
No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.
Michelle Obama
I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of.
Michelle Obama
One of the things I've done personally is bring my girlfriends into my health and fitness journeys.
Michelle Obama
Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, 'Who are you as a person?' Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn't know. And, more important, how does he treat you?
Michelle Obama
Doing the impossible is the history of this nation. It is how this country was built
Michelle Obama
I tell my kids, 'I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.'
Michelle Obama
In the 10 cities with the nation's highest obesity rates, the direct costs connected with obesity and obesity-related diseases are roughly $50 million per 100,000 residents. And if these 10 cities just cut their obesity rates down to the national average, all added up they combine to save nearly $500 million in healthcare costs each year.
Michelle Obama
We have to design policies that have meaningful impacts on the quality of life of women and families. And that's something that I know I can speak passionately about because whether I'm in the White House as First Lady, as long as I have kids and I'm trying to have a life, I'm gonna be trying to make this balance work...
Michelle Obama
Don't let anyone speak for you, and don't rely on others to fight for you.
Michelle Obama
We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
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
Value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.
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
When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised or if I didn't exercise and just watched what I ate, I'd maintain. Now I have to do both.
Michelle Obama
Oh, I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle Obama
Barack Obama was always special, you know? And not special, like, He's gonna be important, he's gonna be president. He was special in terms of his honesty, his sincerity, his compassion for other people.
Michelle Obama
Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
Michelle Obama
While budgets are tight right now, there are schools across the country that are showing that it doesn't take a whole lot of money or resources to give our kids the nutrition they deserve. What it does take, however, is effort. What it does take is imagination. What it does take is a commitment to our children's futures.
Michelle Obama
