I Agree Completely With Secretary Colin Powell, Who Said Today This Is An Absurdity. And So I Think The American People Will Know It's An Absurdity. I Have Absolutely No Concerns About It Whatsoever.

We Need Banking. I Mean, Right Now, There Are So Many Places In America Where The Banks Are Not Doing What They Need To Do Because They're Scared Of Regulations, They're Scared Of The Other Shoe Dropping, They're Just Plain Scared,so Credit Is Not Flowing The Way It Needs To To Restart Economic Growth.

Relationships Are At The Core Of Any Political System And Economic System - Any Family - And I Think We Drifted Away From Understanding That In Our Country. The People-to-people Level Is Critical. It Is Ironic, Though - We Can Text With Anybody In The World, We Can Have A Videoconference With Anybody In The World, But [there Should Be] An Even Higher Premium On Showing Up And Getting To Know Someone.

We Acknowledge-now With President Obama-that We Have Made Mistakes In The United States, And We Along With Other Developed Countries Have Contributed Most Significantly To The Problem We Face With Climate Change.

When I Was Growing Up, My Parents Always Told Me That I Had To Do What I Thought Was Right And Not Listen To Other People. That Was Hard For Me.

Sometimes Overturning Brutal Regimes Takes Time And Costs Lives. I Wish It Weren't So. I Really, Really Do.

We Have Health Insurance Companies Playing A Major Role In The Provision Of Healthcare, Both To The Employed Whose Employers Provide Health Insurance, And To Those Who Are Working But On Their Own Are Not Able To Afford It And Their Employers Either Don't Provide It, Or Don't Provide It At An Affordable Price. We Are Still Struggling. We've Made A Lot Of Progress. Ten Million Americans Now Have Insurance Who Didn't Have It Before The Affordable Care Act, And That Is A Great Step Forward.

Property Crime Is Down 40 Percent. We Just Don't Want To See It Creep Back Up. We've Had 25 Years Of Very Good Cooperation.

I Have A Feeling That I'm Going To Be Blamed For Everything That's Ever Happened.

Many Americans Are Feeling, You Know, Shut Out, Shut Down, The Great Recession Hasn't Ended For Too Many Americans, Wages Are Flat, Families Are Struggling, Not Enough New Jobs, Or New Businesses Are Being Created, And It's Important That We All Try To Figure Out What We're Going To Do, And That's What I've Done My Entire Life, Fighting For A Higher Minimum Wage, Or Family Leave, Now Paid Family Leave Which I Believe In, Equal Pay For Equal Work.

We Know That Russian Intelligence Services, Which Is Part Of The Russian Government Which Is Under The Firm Control Of Vladimir Putin, Hacked Into The Dnc. And We Know That He Arranged For A Lot Of Those Emails To Be Released.

Intelligence Services

There Is Such A Bias Against People Who Have Led Successful And/or Complicated Lives. You Know, The Divestment Of Assets, The Stripping Of All Kinds Of Positions, The Sale Of Stocks. It Just Becomes Very Onerous And Unnecessary.

We Regret Mistakes Were Made.

You're Going To Get A Lot Of Advice Coming From Many Different Quarters To Do Things That Don't Feel Right To You, That Don't Reflect Who You Are And What Your Values Are. So You Have To Be Grounded In Who You Are And What You Believe.

I Spent Four And A Half Hours Debating Donald Trump In Three Debates, Which I Think Should Put To Rest Any Questions About My Stamina.

Maybe [donald Trump] Is Just Never Dealt With Somebody Who's Not Particularly Impressed By His Carrying On, But I'm Not. So I'm Going To Stay Focused On What's At Stake In This Election.

You Have To Be True To Yourself.

Be True To Yourself

True To Yourself

Life Is Not Easy For Anyone. Sometimes You Don't See The Challenges On The Outside, But Every Single One Of Us Has Both Those And Everything That Goes On Inside As Well. Give It Your All. Dare To Be All You Can Be.

You've Got To Be Willing To Stay Committed To Someone Over The Long Run, And Sometimes It Doesn't Work Out. But Often If You Become Real Honest With Yourself And Honest With Each Other, And Put Aside Whatever Personal Hurt And Disappointment You Have To Really Understand Yourself And Your Spouse, It Can Be The Most Wonderful Experience You've Ever Had.

I Can't Stand Whining.

Most Americans Cannot Save More Than $6,000 A Year From Depreciating Real Estate. That's All They Can Write Off Against Their Salary Or Business Profits.

We Need A Wide Variety Of Ways For Voters To Get A Good Look At Our Candidates.

Keep Striving For Your Goals, And Remember That It's Good To Be Ambitious.

We've Got This Arc Of Instability From North Africa To South Asia, And We Have To Pay Close Attention To It. And We Have To Build Coalitions, Something That I Did To Take On The Iranian Nuclear Program, And What I Will Do As President To Make Sure That We Defeat These Terrorist Networks.

There Are Different Views About What's Good For Our Country, Our Economy, And Our Leadership In The World.

What I Would Like To See Is For People To Come Together And Say: Of Course We're Going To Protect And Defend The Second Amendment. But We're Going To Do It In A Way That Tries To Save Some Of These 33,000 Lives That We Lose Every Year.

I Want To Get Everybody Out Of The Shadows, Get The Economy Working, And Not Let Employers Like Donald Trump Exploit Undocumented Workers, Which Hurts Them, But Also Hurts American Workers.

I Don't Think We're At War With Islam. I Don't Think We're At War With All Muslims. I Think We're At War With Jihadists.

I Have Absolutely No Interest In Running For President Again.

I Never Thought I Would End Up Being The Senator From New York.

I Think Talking's Important. I Think Aspirations Are Critical.

People Are, You Know, A Little - They're Still Uncertain, And They're Uncertain Both Because They Don't Know What Might Come Next In Terms Of Regulations, But They're Also Uncertain Because Of Changes In A Global Economy That We're Only Beginning To Take Hold Of.

I Try To Schedule At Least One Day A Week To Catch Up, To Feel Like I'm Breathing Again. I Take Vitamins. I Have A Treadmill And Weights At Home, But I Prefer Walking Outside, Just Kind Of Breathing And Letting It All Go. I Try To Read For Pleasure Whenever I Can - It's A Great Way Just To Shut It Off For A While So Your Brain Doesn't Get Fried.

It Cannot Be An American Fight. And I Think What The President [barack Obama] Has Consistently Said - Which I Agree With - Is That We Will Support Those Who Take The Fight To Isis. That Is Why We Have Troops In Iraq That Are Helping To Train And Build Back Up The Iraqi Military, Why We Have Special Operators In Syria Working With The Kurds And Arabs, So That We Can Be Supportive.

The Last Time I Actually Drove A Car Myself Was 1996.

We Have An Architect In The Audience Who Designed One Of Clubhouses At One Of The Golf Courses. It's A Beautiful Facility. It Immediately Was Put To Use. And Donald Trump Wouldn't Pay What The Man Needed To Be Paid.

I Have Absolutely No Interest In Running For President Again. None. None. I Mean, I Know That's Hard For Some People To Believe, But, You Know, I Just Don't.

We Have To Tackle The Plague Of Gun Violence.

Never Doubt That You Are Valuable And Powerful And Deserving Of Every Chance In The World To Pursue Your Dreams.

When I Think About What We Now Know About Donald Trump And What He's Been Doing For 30 Years, He Sure Has Spent A Lot Of Time Demeaning, Degrading, Insulting, And Assaulting Women.

It Is Important To Learn How To Take Criticism Seriously, But Not Personally.

When I Am Talking About "it Takes A Village", I'm Obviously Not Talking Just About Or Even Primarily About Geographical Villages Any Longer, But About The Network Of Relationships And Values That Do Connect Us And Binds Us Together.

It Takes A Village

I've Said This Before And I'm Very Proud Of It, That When It Comes To Judgment, Having Run A Hard Race Against Senator [barack] Obama At The Time, He Turned To Me To Be Secretary Of State. And When It Comes To The Biggest Counterterrorism Issues That We Faced In This Administration, Namely Whether Or Not To Go After Bin Laden, I Was At That Table, I Was Exercising My Judgment To Advise The President On What To Do, On That, On Iran, On Russia On China, On A Whole Raft Of Issues.

Women Have Always Been The Primary Victims Of War. Women Lose Their Husbands, Their Fathers, Their Sons In Combat.

The Cavalier Casual Way That Donald Trump Talks About Nuclear Weapons Is Not Only Frightening But It Goes Counter To More Than 70 Years Of Bipartisan, Presidential Leadership Of Republicans And Democrats Who Believed That We Have To Prevent Other Countries From Getting Nuclear Weapons And We Have To Do What We Can To Decrease The Number Of Nuclear Weapons In The World.

Donald Trump Thinks That Climate Change Is A Hoax Perpetrated By The Chinese. I Think It's Real.

It's Not Right That Donald Trump Can Ignore His Debts, But Students And Families Can't Refinance Theirs.

We Do Always Have To Make Sure We Keep People Safe. There Are The Right Ways Of Doing It, And Then There Are Ways That Are Ineffective.

We've Got To Remain Energy-independent. It Gives Us Much More Power And Freedom Than To Be Worried About What Goes On In The Middle East. We Have Enough Worries Over There Without Having To Worry About That.

I've Been In Favor Of Getting Rid Of Carried Interest For Years, Starting When I Was A Senator From New York.

I Want To Invest In Community Colleges, Training Programs, And High-quality Apprenticeships That Help People Gain The Skills They Need For The Jobs Of The Future.

Politics Is Like Sausage Being Made. It Is Unsavory, And It Always Has Been That Way, But We Usually End Up Where We Need To Be.

Don't Worry About Things, That You Can Do Better Next Time. Don't Worry About Stuff You Can't Control.

If The Fbi Is Watching You For Suspected Terrorist Links, You Should Not Be Able To Buy A Gun With No Questions Asked.

I Feel Like My Political Beliefs Are Rooted In The Conservatism That I Was Raised With.

The Only Years [of Donald Trump's] That Anybody's Ever Seen Were A Couple Of Years When He Had To Turn Them Over To State Authorities When He Was Trying To Get A Casino License, And They Showed He Didn't Pay Any Federal Income Tax.

I Think For A Lot Of Young People There Is A Sense That Maybe The Future Is Not Going To Be Everything It Was Held Out To Be, Especially If They're Coming Out With A Lot Of Student Debt.

As President, I Will Appoint Tough, Independent Authorities To Strengthen Anti-trust Enforcement And Really Scrutinize Mergers And Acquisitions, So The Big Don't Keep Getting Bigger And Bigger.

I Want People To Feel That I've Got Their Back, That They Can Count On Me, And That The Door's Open, The Table Is Set For Everybody, So That Nobody Feels Like, Hey, I'm A Lesser Person. And It's That Place Of Fear. It Does Kill Dreams. That's Exactly What Fear Does.

The United States Has Kept The Peace Through Our Alliances. Donald Trump Wants To Tear Up Our Alliances. I Think It Makes The World Safer And, Frankly, It Makes The United States Safer. I Would Work With Our Allies In Asia, In Europe, In The Middle East, And Elsewhere. That's The Only Way We're Going To Be Able To Keep The Peace.

We Are Desperately In Need Of The Kind Of Smart Diplomacy That Has Worked For America In The Past. If You Use Force, It Should Be A Last Resort. And It Needs To Be Used With Full Understanding Of The Consequences.

Our Lives Are A Mixture Of Different Roles. Most Of Us Are Doing The Best We Can To Find Whatever The Right Balance Is . . . For Me, That Balance Is Family, Work, And Service.

I Admire President Obama. He Inherited The Worst Financial Crisis Since The Great Depression. That Was A Terrible Time For America.

We Will Never Build Enough Prisons To End Our Crime Problem.

I Was A Baseball Fan, At Any Rate.

America Is Great, Because America Is Good. And It Really Is Up To All Of Us To Make That True, Now And In The Future, And Particularly For Our Children And Our Grandchildren.

Refraining From Violence Is Not A Sign Of Weakness In One's Faith But A Sign That One's Faith Is Unshakeable

We Know That Donald Trump Has Shown A Very Troubling Willingness To Back Up Putin, To Support Putin, Whether It's Saying That Nato Wouldn't Come To The Rescue Of Allies If They Were Invaded, Talking About Removing Sanctions From Russian Officials After They Were Imposed By The United States And Europe Together, Because Of Russia's Aggressiveness In Crimea And Ukraine, His Praise For Putin Which Is I Think Quite Remarkable.

I Think That In An Age Where So Much Information Is Flying Through Cyberspace, We All Have To Be Aware Of The Fact That Some Information Which Is Sensitive, Which Does Affect The Security Of Individuals And Relationships, Deserves To Be Protected And We Will Continue To Take Necessary Steps To Do So.

Instead Of Gutting Consumer Protection, We Should Be Expanding It.

Look At What I've Done My Entire Life. I Have Been Working On Behalf Of Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Human Rights For Years And I Know How Challenging It Is To Change Our Political System And I Have The Highest Regard For Those Who Have Put Themselves On The Line.

We've Got Unmatched Talent, Innovation, Entrepreneurial Spirit, So When We Work Together, We Can All Benefit.

Together We Can

Working Together

Senator Obama's Support Among Hardworking Americans - White Americans - Is Weakening.

It Is Past Time For Women To Take Their Rightful Place, Side By Side With Men, In The Rooms Where The Fates Of Peoples, Where Their Children's And Grandchildren's Fates, Are Decided.

I'm Going To Continue To Push For A No-fly Zone And Safe Havens Within Syria Not Only To Help Protect The Syrians And Prevent The Constant Outflow Of Refugees, But To, Frankly, Gain Some Leverage On Both The Syrian Government And The Russians So That Perhaps We Can Have The Kind Of Serious Negotiation Necessary To Bring The Conflict To An End And Go Forward On A Political Track.

I, For One, Respect Those Who Believe With All Their Hearts And Conscience That There Are No Circumstances Under Which Any Abortion Should Ever Be Available.

Let's Say Loudly And Clearly, Right To Work Is Wrong For Workers And Wrong For America.

Gay Rights And Human Rights Are One And The Same.

We Need Some Leverage With The Russians, Because They Are Not Going To Come To The Negotiating Table For A Diplomatic Resolution, Unless There Is Some Leverage Over Them.

I Agree With The President [barack Obama]. I've Said Myself, We Will Not Send American Combat Troops Back To Either Syria Or Iraq - That Is Off The Table.

If A Woman Wants To Succeed In The Public Arena, She Needs To Grow Skin As Thick As The Hide Of A Rhinoceros. I Have Certainly, As You Can Tell, Have Had To Learn How To Do That, And There's A Lot Of Good Moisturizers I Can Tell You About If You're Interested. The Second Thing Is To Learn How To Take Criticism Seriously But Not Personally.

There's A Lot Of Fear - In Fact, Teachers And Parents Are Calling It The Trump Effect. Bullying Is Up. A Lot Of People Are Feeling, You Know, Uneasy. A Lot Of Kids Are Expressing Their Concerns.

The First Step Is To Take Weapons Off The Streets And To Put More Police On Them.

[muammar] Gaddafi Probably Had More Blood On His Hands Of Americans Than Anybody Else.

Every Woman, Whoever She Is, Wherever She Lives, Should Be Able To Give Birth Without The Fear She's Going To Lose Her Baby Or That Her Baby Will Lose Her Mother.

It Would Be Impossible To Be Fact-checking Donald Trump All The Time.

It Just Seems To Me That This Is Something That The American People Deserve To See. And I Have No Reason To Believe That [donald Trump] Is Ever Going To Release His Tax Returns, Because There's Something He's Hiding.

I Really Do Hope That We Have A Woman President In My Lifetime.

I Want Us To Invest In You. I Want Us To Invest In Your Future. That Means Jobs In Infrastructure, In Advanced Manufacturing, Innovation And Technology, Clean, Renewable Energy, And Small Business, Because Most Of The New Jobs Will Come From Small Business. We Also Have To Make The Economy Fairer. That Starts With Raising The National Minimum Wage And Also Guarantee, Finally, Equal Pay For Women's Work.

The United States Strongly Condemns The Illegal Disclosure Of Classified Information. It Puts People's Lives In Danger, Threatens Our National Security, And Undermines Our Efforts To Work With Other Countries To Solve Shared Problems.

Every President, If You Watch What They Look Like When They Come Into Office, You Can See Their Hair Turn White Because It's Such A Hard Job.

Individual Consciences Are Fine But Individual Consciences Have To Be Made Manifest.

With Less Competition, Corporations Can Use Their Power To Raise Prices, Limit Choice For Consumers, Cut Wages For Workers, Crowd Out Start-ups And Small Businesses.

A Political Life, I've Often Said, Is A Continuing Education In Human Nature, Including One's Own. My Involvement On The Ground Floor Of Two Presidential Campaigns And My Duties As First Lady Took Me To Every State In Our Union And To Seventy-eight Nations. In Each Place, I Met Someone Or Saw Something That Caused Me To Open My Mind And My Heart And Deepen My Understanding Of The Universal Concerns That Most Of Humanity Shares.

My Friends, Israel's Security Is Non-negotiable.

[donald Trump] Held A Number Of Big Rallies Where He Said That He Could Not Possibly Have Done Those Things To Those Women Because They Were Not Attractive Enough For Them To Be Assaulted.

Donald Trump Is Temperamentally Unfit To Be President And Commander-in-chief.

We Need A Supreme Court That Will Stand Up On Behalf Of Women's Rights, On Behalf Of The Rights Of The Lgbt Community, That Will Stand Up And Say No To Citizens United, A Decision That Has Undermined The Election System In Our Country Because Of The Way It Permits Dark, Unaccountable Money To Come Into Our Electoral System.

Every Presidential Candidate For Decades Has Released His Tax Returns, And I've Released 33 Years Of My Tax Returns. The American People Deserve To Know About Our Taxes. And So Donald Trump Is Standing In The Way Of Precedent That Goes Back On Both Sides Of Aisle Democrats And Republicans, And He Clearly Has Something That He Doesn't Want Us To See.

Some May Have Doubted Us, But We Never Doubted Each Other.

As Women And As Lawyers, We Must Never Again Shy From Raising Our Voices Against Sexual Harassment.

People Are Looking Back And Trying To, You Know, Get Compensation For Bad Mortgages And All The Rest Of It In Some Of The Agreements That Are Being Reached. There's Nothing Magic About Regulations, Too Much Is Bad, Too Little Is Bad.

I Have Long Been In Favor Of States And Cities Within States Making Up Their Own Minds Whether Or Not They Want To Permit Fracking. I Have Been Supportive Of That.

What We Have To Do... Is To Find A Way To Celebrate Our Diversity And Debate Our Differences Without Fracturing Our Communities.

What I Don't Think We Should Do Is Panic, And I Don't Think We Should Advocate For Ideas And Plans That Will Make Things Worse.

I Take Running For President And Being President Really Seriously. It's A - Maybe The Toughest Job In The World, Right? And I Knew That There Was Unfinished Business From The Successful Two Terms Of President Obama, Whom I Had Served, But That We Needed To Go Further On The Economy, On Health Care, And So Much Else.

What I'm Concerned About Is The Views Of Many Democrats Who Know Their States, Who Know How Hard It Is To Win A General Election. And It Also Will Push Whoever The Nominee Is Into The Spotlight. I've Been Vetted. There's Hardly Anything You Don't Know About Me. And I Think It's Fair To Say That Whoever Is In That Position, Senator Bernie Sanders Or Anyone Else Who Might Have Run, Will Face The Most Withering Onslaught.

President Lincoln Was Trying To Convince Some People, He Used Some Arguments, Convincing Other People, He Used Other Arguments. That Was A Great - I Thought A Great Display Of Presidential Leadership.

The Arts Are Not A Luxury. They Are An Integral Part Of Our Lives As Individuals And As A Nation.

For 30 Years, I've Produced Results For People.

Marriage Has Got Historic, Religious And Moral Content That Goes Back To The Beginning Of Time And I Think A Marriage Is As A Marriage Has Always Been, Between A Man And A Woman.

There Are 4 Billion Cell Phones In Use Today. Many Of Them Are In The Hands Of Market Vendors, Rickshaw Drivers, And Others Who've Historically Lacked Access To Education And Opportunity. Information Networks Have Become A Great Leveler, And We Should Use Them Together To Help Lift People Out Of Poverty And Give Them A Freedom From Want.

Donald Trump Lives In An Alternative Reality.

We Will Do Everything In Our Power To Protect Our Allies, South Korea And Japan, Including Installing Even More Missile Defense.

I Think There's Where We Can Enlist The Veterans Service Organizations, The Veterans Of America, Because, Yes, Let's Fix The V.a., But We Will Never Let It Be Privatized, And That Is A Promise.

Freedom Means The Right Of People To Assemble, Organize, And Debate Openly.

Don't Let Life Pass You By Before You Realise That It Was Worth Living.

I Am Shocked At How Much Time I Spend In The White House. I Mean, You Know, For People On The Outside, The Idea Of Going To The White House For A Meeting Must Seem Like The Most Important, Serious, Even Glamorous Kind Of Thing To Do.

We Can't Go To People Who Have Lost Their Job At Gm And Say, 'oh, By The Way, We Are Going To Pay Money To Build A Road Here Or Inoculate Children There,' Unless We Can Demonstrate That It Is In America's Interest. I Happen To Think It Is.

[iranians] Are Destabilizing Governments In The Region. They Continue To Support Hezbollah And Hamas In Lebanon Against Israel. A Lot Of Work That We Have Do Is Going To Be Incredibly Hard. I'm Prepared To Do That Work, But I Believe, Just As I Did With Imposing The Sanctions, You Have To Get Action For Action.

Remember What Teddy Roosevelt Did. Yes, He Took On What He Saw As The Excesses In The Economy, But He Also Stood Against The Excesses In Politics. He Didn't Want To Unleash A Lot Of Nationalist, Populistic Reaction. He Wanted To Try To Figure Out How To Get Back Into That Balance That Has Served America So Well Over Our Entire Nationhood.

My Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open Trade And Open Borders, Some Time In The Future With Energy That Is As Green And Sustainable As We Can Get It, Powering Growth And Opportunity For Every Person In The Hemisphere.

[the Republicans] All Want To See Women's Rights Eroded And For Abortion To Become Illegal Again.

If Everybody's Watching, You Know, All Of The Back Room Discussions And The Deals, You Know, Then People Get A Little Nervous, To Say The Least. So, You Need Both A Public And A Private Position.

I Think We Have To Face The Reality That In A Society Where There Is A Legitimate Threat Of Terrorism, Not Being Able To See One's Face, Not Being Able To Have Some Sense Of Communication In That Way, Is For Many Societies A Challenge.

I Was Against It [trans-pacific Partnership] Once , It Was Finally Negotiated And The Terms Were Laid Out.

I Will Go Anywhere, Anytime, To Meet With Anyone To Find Common Ground.

So Many State Republican Governors And Legislators Are Defunding Planned Parenthood And Shutting Down Clinics That Not Only Provide A Safe Abortion But Hiv Testing, Cancer Screenings, And So Much Else That Women Have Every Right To Access, Which Is Harder If You Are Unemployed Or You Are A Low-income Woman That's Part Of The Real Service That Planned Parenthood Provides.

I Think It's Understandable That When Questions Are Raised, People Maybe Are Thinking About Them And Wondering About Them, But I Have Every Confidence That During The Course Of This Campaign, People Are Going To Know Who Will Fight For Them, Who Will Be There When They Need Them, And That's The Kind Of Person I Am And That's What I Will Do, Not Only In A Campaign But As President.

I Was In Civil Society Long Before I Was Ever In Politics Or My Husband Was Ever Even Elected President.

People Have To Stop Employing Illegal Immigrants.

We're Making Progress. Our Military Is Assisting In Iraq. And We're Hoping That Within The Year We'll Be Able To Push Isis Out Of Iraq And Then, You Know, Really Squeeze Them In Syria.

I Did It As First Lady, I Did It As A Senator, I Did It As Secretary Of State, And I Know How Hard It Is. It's Not Something You Do Once Or Twice And Then Throw Your Hands Up Because It Is Grinding Work. But It Is Necessary Work. So I Am Really Welcoming Of The Opportunity To Meet With Not Only People Who Agree With Me But Those Who Don't To See What We Can Do To Try To Bridge The Differences.

I`m Running For President Because Everyday Americans And Their Families Need A Champion, And I Want To Be That Champion. I Want To Make The Words Middle Class Mean Something Again.

When I Got To The Senate, I Started Working With Republicans. I Think I Practically Worked With Every Single One Of Them, And A Lot Of Them Were On Record Talking About What A Good Colleague I Am And How I Like To Get Things Done.

The President [barack Obama] Himself Has Said He Thought Part Of His Job Was To Remind The American People That Being President And Commander In Chief Is A Serious Responsibility.

I Think If You Come From Where I Came From And Where I Have Always Been, I've Always Been Reaching Out And Whether It's Talking With Our Neighbors Or Going Shopping Or Standing, Talking To People In These Bookstores And Hearing What's On Their Minds, Or Even The Work I Did For Eight Years As A Senator To Bring New Jobs To New York And Stand Up For The People I Represented.

When I Talk About How We're Going To Pay For Education, How We're Going To Invest In Infrastructure, How We're Going To Get The Cost Of Prescription Drugs Down, And A Lot Of The Other Issues That People Talk To Me About All The Time, I've Made It Very Clear We Are Going Where The Money Is. We Are Going To Ask The Wealthy And Corporations To Pay Their Fair Share.

America Can Only Live Up To Its Potential When Each And Every American Has The Chance To Live Up To Your Potential, Too.

I Pay For Everything I'm Proposing.

I Feel Very Lucky Because Of My Parents And Then My Education, The Opportunities That I've Had, So I Would Like To Continue Working To Improve Lives For Others.

I Think A Revolution Transitioning From Fossil Fuels To Clean, Renewable Energy - Somebody's Going To Be The 21st-century Clean-energy Superpower.

We're Living In A Technological World. You Cannot Tell Me We Can't Do A Better Job Getting That Information.

A Psychologist Once Told Me That For A Boy Being In The Middle Of A Conflict Between Two Women Is The Worst Possible Situation. There's Always A Desire To Please Each One.

The Only Wealth I Have To Give, Is Not Material - And If You Need Much More Than That, I'm Not Available.

I've Been Really Impressed At Some Of The Investments That I've Seen In Community College And Technical Schools That Are Training Young People For These Jobs In 3d Printing And The Like.

We Have To Work With The Police. We Have To Make Sure They Respect The Communities And The Communities Respect Them.

As President, I'll Set Bold Goals To Combat Climate Change: Generate Enough Renewable Energy To Power Every Home In America Within 10 Years And Slash Carbon Pollution At Home And Around The World.

America Is Best When We Work In Collaboration With Our Allies. America Is Best When We Are Actually Standing Up To Evil In This World. And Isis, Make No Mistake About It, Is An Evil In This World.

I Mean, Of Course That's A Theoretical Question, And We Don't Know What It Would Be For, And We Don't Know How Many Numbers There Are. I Am Against American Combat Troops Being In Syria And Iraq.

Well, You Know, Once Again, Donald [trump] Is Implying That He Didn't Support The Invasion Of Iraq. I Said It Was A Mistake.

I Have Written A Book It's Called "stronger Together."

Don't Let Anybody Tell You That Raising The Minimum Wage Will Kill Jobs.

We Are At A Stage In History In Which Remolding Society Is One Of The Great Challenges Facing All Of Us In The West.

It’s Always Surprising To Me How Many Young Women Think They Have To Be Perfect. I Rarely Meet A Young Man Who Doesn’t Think He Already Is.

When My Husband Was President, We Went From A $300 Billion Deficit To A $200 Billion Surplus And We Were Actually On The Path To Eliminating The National Debt. When President Obama Came Into Office, He Inherited The Worst Economic Disaster Since The Great Depression. He Has Cut The Deficit By Two-thirds.

Well I Think In A Marriage You Have To Be Honest And Ask Yourself, You Know, What Is My Role? What Is My Responsibility?

I've Always Found Credit Isn't Just Something You Take - It's Something People Give You When They See How Hard You're Working.

In Many Parts Of The World, Women And Girls Are Especially Vulnerable To Hiv/aids Because They Lack Control Over Most Aspects Of Their Life. Cultural Expectations And Gender Roles Expose Women And Girls To Violence, Sexual Exploitation And Far Greater Risk For Infection.

I Believe That Marriage Is Not Just A Bond But A Sacred Bond Between A Man And A Woman.

I Have Met A Lot Of The People Who Were Stiffed By You And Your Businesses, Donald [trump]. I've Met Dishwashers, Painters, Architects, Glass Installers, Marble Installers, Drapery Installers, Like My Dad Was, Who You Refused To Pay When They Finished The Work That You Asked Them To Do.

What I Did Was Permitted. My Emails Went To State.gov Accounts. I Did What I Did, And I've Said That It Was A Mistake. I've Tried To Do The Best I Could To Get That Information Out To People.

I Think We Need A Big National Dance.

Often Times When You Face Such An Overwhelming Challenge As Global Climate Change, It Can Be Somewhat Daunting - It's Kind Of Like Trying To Lose Weight, Which I Know Something About.

I Think It's Important That We Do It [defeat Isis] In Concert With Other Nations In Europe, The Middle East, Elsewhere If Necessary. And That Means You've Got To Work With People. You Don't Insult Them. You Don't Insult Their Religion. And It Means We Have To See Our Entire Country, All Of The People In It, As Part Of Our First Line Of Defense.

For More Than A Half A Century, We Know That We Prospered Because Of A Bipartisan Consensus On Defense And Foreign Policy. We Must Do More Than Return To That Sensible, Cooperative Approach.

I Think My Husband Did A Pretty Good Job In The 1990s.

I Am Sick And Tired Of The Negative, Dark, Divisive Dangerous Vision And Behavior Of People Who Support Donald Trump.
