All of us are mentors. You’re mentors right here and now. And one of the things I’ve always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.

Michelle Obama

As women, we cannot afford to neglect ourselves.

Michelle Obama

As women, we must stand up for ourselves. We must stand up for each other. We must stand up for justice for all.

Michelle Obama

Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.

Michelle Obama

Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.

Michelle Obama

Do not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own.

Michelle Obama

Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down, and trust your insticts. 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 you choose. It’s with the people you surround yourself with.

Michelle Obama

Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter or like you don’t have a place in our American story because you do.

Michelle Obama

Don’t let anyone speak for you, and don’t rely on others to fight for you.

Michelle Obama

For me, being a mother made me a better professional, because coming home every night to my girls reminded me what I was working for. And being a professional made me a better mother, because by pursuing my dreams, I was modeling for my girls how to pursue their dreams.
