Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.
Michelle Obama
Every elected official on this planet should understand - don't play with our children, don't do it.
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
I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of.
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
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
Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.
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
For me exercise is more than just physical, it’s therapeutic.
Michelle Obama
'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.
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
Wounded Warriors tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and they're going to run marathons!
Michelle Obama
When I get up and work out, I'm working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It's just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.
Michelle Obama
I think I'm probably more typical of the average American who doesn't have a connection to a military community.
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
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
