More quotes by Michelle Obama
I've seen how the issues that come across a president's desk are always the hard ones - the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer.
Michelle Obama
And that's my message to voters, this isn't about Barack, it's not about person on that ballot -- its about you. And for most of the people we are talking to [blacks], a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on, regardless of who said what or did this -- that shouldn't even come into the equation.
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
We're our kids' first and best role models. So the first question is, what are you as a mom or a dad doing every day, or every week, to start getting into the good habits?
Michelle Obama
Find people who will make you better.
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
People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady you're representing the nation. I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection.
Michelle Obama
The beauty of my job is that I get to see more of that America. And that feeds me.
Michelle Obama
Hope is necessary. It's a necessary concept. And Barack Obama didn't just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes.
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 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 [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
Hope and change are hard-fought things.
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
My priority will be making sure my family is happy and settled.
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
Every girl, no matter where she lives, deserves the opportunity to develop the promise inside of her.
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
First and foremost, I wear what I love. That's what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.
Michelle Obama
My children are very blessed.... That's why I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this 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
