More quotes by 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
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
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
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
My happiness is tied to how I feel about myself.
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
I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of.
Michelle Obama
The beauty of my job is that I get to see more of that America. And that feeds me.
Michelle Obama
I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook. It's not something they need. It's not necessary.
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
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
Although the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school, I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would be standing here as the first African-American First Lady.
Michelle Obama
I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be.
Michelle Obama
Education is the single-most important civil rights issue that we face today.
Michelle Obama
My message to women: Do what makes you feel good, because there'll always be someone who thinks you should do it differently. Whether your choices are hits or misses, at least they're your own.
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
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
I've always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside.
Michelle Obama
I tell this to my girls all the time: This journey we're on is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity.
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
