It's going to be very difficult for Melania Trump or Bill Clinton to fill the shoes of the great Michelle Obama. Since 2009, the currently First Lady has proven to be one of the most inspirational of all time. With her kind heart and passion for her country, Michelle will leave the White House having made a deep impression on the lives of America. In honor of her beautiful speech at the Democratic Convention, here are 15 of our favorite quotes made by the First Lady.

1. "There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made."


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


3."As women, we must stand up for ourselves."


4. "Choose people who lift you up."


5. "Every day, the people I meet inspire me... Every day, they make me proud... Every day, they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth."


6. "Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude."


7. "You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still 'mom-in-chief.' My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world."


8. "If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion."


9. "So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming- or even impossible- let us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation... It's who we are as Americans. It's how this country was built."


10. "No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of half of its citizens."


11. “The issues a president faces cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.”


12. "I wake up every morning in a house built by slaves."


13. "When you walk through that open door of opportunity, you don't slam it shut behind you."


14. "When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous."


15. "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."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
