More quotes by Michelle Obama
"The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them."
"We should always have three friends in our lives-one who walks ahead who we look up to and follow; one who walks beside us, who is with us every step of our journey; and then, one who we reach back for and bring along after we've cleared the way."
"There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence."
"You have to practice success. Success doesn't just show up. If you aren't practicing success today, you won't wake up in 20 years and be successful, because you won't have developed the habits of success, which are small things like finishing what you start, putting a lot of effort into everything you do, being on time, treating people well."
"Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody says distract you from your goals."
