More quotes by Michelle Obama
We've got a responsibility to live up to the legacy of those who came before us by doing all that we can to help those who come after us.
Michelle Obama
I am desperate for change - now - not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now.
Michelle Obama
If I point to anything that makes me who I am, it's that I have a whole lot of common sense. I've got a good mind and a good ability to read people and situations.
Michelle Obama
Moving [to the White House], whatever stresses would be on my husband and me, we could handle we are grown-ups. But it wouldn't be until the day that my kids came home and said to me, I like it here, that I'd feel like I could breathe and know that we're all going to be okay here.
Michelle Obama
Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.
Michelle Obama
We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
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
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
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
Exercise is really important to me - it's therapeutic. So if I'm ever feeling tense or stressed or like I'm about to have a meltdown, I'll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle Obama
I'm not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business. But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love.
Michelle Obama
We're gathering a group of women around the administration to serve over a longer period of time as mentors to girls in need. If we can have that kind of impact in one night, just imagine if we were working with girls over the course of a year or two.... We can change lives.
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
I think in the end, I want to make sure that my kids come out of this thing on the other end in one piece. But I also know that that's how the rest of the country feels as well, so for that I am grateful.
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
Education is the single-most important civil rights issue that we face today.
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
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
Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.
Michelle Obama
It is my hope that our garden's story-and the stories of gardens across America-will inspire families, schools, and communities to try their own hand at gardening and enjoy all the gifts of health, discovery, and connection a garden can bring.
Michelle Obama
