We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyones contribution and treat everyone with respect. – Michelle Obama
We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make… that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself. – Michelle Obama
I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as us and them – he doesnt care whether youre a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above… he knows that we all love our country… and hes always ready to listen to good ideas… hes always looking for the very best in everyone he meets. – Michelle Obama
Like so many American families, our families werent asking for much. They didnt begrudge anyone elses success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it. – Michelle Obama
