Start, as parents, with yourselves, number one.

Success is only meaningful - and enjoyable - if it feels like your own.

Barack puts on his suit and tie [and] he's out the door — I'm getting my hair, makeup, the kids, I gotta brush their hair. You know, he's always looking like 'where are you? where are you going?' But yeah, you know — it's fun to look pretty.

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.

I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard - especially when it's hard.

You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.

Elections aren't just about who votes, but who doesn't vote.
