I Always Supported The Women I Worked With Having Time Off To Go To Parent-teacher Conferences And Doctors' Appointments Or Bringing Their Infants Into The Office.

Maybe Donald Trump Doesn't Want The American People To Know That He's Paid Nothing In Federal Taxes, Because The Only Years 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 We've Got To Look At Corporate Law. Back In The Day When I Studied It, There Were Different Constituencies That Were To Be Served, And I Think There Was A Real Wrong Turn About 20 To 25 Years Ago When The Theory Began To Be Promoted That Your Highest Duty - In Fact, Some Would Argue, Your Only Duty - Is To Maximize Shareholder Return. I Just Don't Buy It. And It Wasn't The Original Underpinnings Of The Legal Theory Of Corporate Law.

I Think What President [barack] Obama Has Done Is To Chart A Steady Course. When I Was There, The First Four Years We Had A Lot Of Cleanup To Do.

Indeed One Streak In Our Economy, We're Missing The Big Oil Companies. We're Missing Other Big Energy Companies. We're Missing The Big Picture, And I Have A Record Of Trying To Go At The Problems That Actually Exist, And I Will Continue To Do That.

I Am Delighted To Be Here In These New [council On Foreign Relations] Headquarters. I Have Been Often To, I Guess, The Mother Ship In New York City, But It's Good To Have An Outpost Of The Council Right Here Down The Street From The State Department. We Get A Lot Of Advice From The Council, So This Will Mean I Won't Have As Far To Go To Be Told What We Should Be Doing And How We Should Think About The Future.

Mental Health Is One Of The Biggest Concerns, Because Now Police Are Having To Handle A Lot Of Really Difficult Mental Health Problems On The Street.

People Like Donald Trump, Who Paid Zero In Taxes, Zero For Our Vets, Zero For Our Military, Zero For Health And Education, That Is Wrong.

What I Believe Is The More We Can Do For The Middle Class, The More We Can Invest In You, Your Education, Your Skills, Your Future, The Better We Will Be Off And The Better We'll Grow. That's The Kind Of Economy I Want Us To See Again.

It Does Not Matter What Country We Live In, Who Our Leaders Are, Or Even Who We Are. Because We Are Human, We Therefore Have Rights. And Because We Have Rights, Governments Are Bound To Protect Them.

Does It Make Any Sense At All That The Chair Of A National Party Would Want Fewer Voters To See Our Candidates?

We Have Never In The History Of Our Country Been In A Situation Where An Adversary, A Foreign Power, Is Working So Hard To Influence The Outcome Of The Election, And, Believe Me, They're Not Doing It To Get Me Elected. They're Doing It To Try To Influence The Election For Donald Trump.

We All Rely On The Market's Transparency And Integrity.

I'm A Proud Product Of The American Middle Class.

One Independent Expert - Actually, The Economist Who Advised John Mccain In 2008, So, You Know, Not Somebody That Has Any Predisposition Toward Our Side - But This Economist Did A Study. He Said Under [donald] Trump's Economic Plans, We Would Lose In America 3 And A Half Million Jobs.

I Trust Voters. Voters Decide On Whatever Basis They Think Is Important To Them. I Just Want Them To Have A Full Range Of Information To Make That Decision.

I Think You Have To Take The Man At His Word [donald Trump]. Is Kind Of An Equal-opportunity Insulter. He Started By Calling Mexican Immigrants Rapists And Criminals. He Moved On To Denigrating John Mccain's Heroism During The Vietnam War. He Has Gone After People With Disabilities. He Has Said Muslims Should Be Kept Out Of Our Country. He Certainly Has Gone After Individual Women In The Media, In The Political Arena.

Let's Stop For A Second And Remember Where We Were Eight Years Ago [in 2008]. We Had The Worst Financial Crisis, The Great Recession, The Worst Since The 1930s. That Was In Large Part Because Of Tax Policies That Slashed Taxes On The Wealthy, Failed To Invest In The Middle Class, Took Their Eyes Off Of Wall Street, And Created A Perfect Storm.

I'm The Most Transparent Secretary Of State Because Of That. I've Been Willing To Say, "ok, Read Them [emails] All."

I Used To Sit On The Other End Of Pennsylvania Avenue And Wonder Why The Senate Was Always Going Into Recess, Until In My First Year I Realized How Intense The Pressure Was.

We Celebrate Our Diversity, We Lift People Up, And We Make America Even Greater.

I Know You [donald Trump] Live In Your Own Reality, But That Is Not The Facts.

Public Financing Would Fix Campaign Donor Problems.

Lgbt Americans Are Our Colleagues, Our Teachers, Our Soldiers, Our Friends, Our Loved Ones, And They Are Full And Equal Citizens And Deserve The Rights Of Citizenship. That Includes Marriage.

I Think His [bernie Sanders] Campaign Was Good For The Democratic Party, Good For Our Country. And I Know How Passionate He Is About The Issues He Cares About. So We'll Have A Long List Of Matters To Discuss When We Sit Down.

There Is Still Work To Be Done, But That Remains A Crucial Lesson, You Cannot Bring Peace And Security To People Just By Signing An Agreement. In Fact, Most Peace Agreements Don't Last.

There Hasn't Been Anybody Whose Life Has Been Picked Apart And Distorted As Much As Mine.

I Have A Very Positive And Optimistic View About What We Can Do Together. That's Why The Slogan Of My Campaign Is 'stronger Together.' Because I Think If We Work Together, If We Overcome The Divisiveness That Sometimes Sets Americans Against One Another, And Instead We Make Some Big Goals - And I've Set Forth Some Big Goals: Getting The Economy To Work For Everyone, Not Just Those At The Top, Making Sure That We Have The Best Education System From Preschool Through College, Making It Affordable, And So Much Else.

Sometimes There's Not A Direct Transfer Of Skills From Business To Government, But Sometimes What Happened In Business Would Be Really Bad For Government.

Donald Trump Has Shown Us Who He Is. And We Ought To Believe Him. He Is Taking A Hate Movement Mainstream.

I Say A Lot Of Things - Millions Of Words A Day - So If I Misspoke, That Was Just A Misstatement.

The United States Has, Unfortunately, Been Victimized By Terrorism Going Back Decades.

I Want To Be The Best President I Can Be For Every American.

There Is No Doubt That The Increasing Numbers Of Women In The Economy Has Helped Fuel Significant Growth Everywhere. And Economies That Are Making The Shift More Effectively And Rapidly Are Dramatically Outperforming Those That Have Not.

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

A Vote In 2002 Is Not A Plan To Defeat Isis.

You're Not Always Going To Make The Right Decisions, But You Have To Be Guided By What You Think Is Important.

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.

Donald Trump Is A Person Who Has Been Very Cavalier, Even Casual About The Use Of Nuclear Weapons.

I Plead - That It's Very Difficult When You Deal With - Isis And Organizations Like That Whose - Whose Behavior Is So Barbaric And So Vicious - That It Doesn't Seem To Have Any Purpose Other Than Lust For Killing And Power. And That's Very Difficult To Put Ourselves In Other Shoes.

What The Champions Of Suffrage Understood Was That The Vote Is Not Just A Symbol Of Our Equality, But That It Can Be, If Used, A Guarantee Of Results.

I Am Not Going To Engage In The Kind Of Behavior That You See From Donald Trump.

When People Say, Well, They Disapprove, I'd Like To Know What The Specifics Are, Because Sometimes - And The President [barack Obama] Has Admitted This - They May Not Feel Like He's Really Explaining And Understanding The Emotion Behind Some Of These Fears [about Iran]. And That's A Perfectly Legitimate Question For People To Ask. But If You Look At The Results Of Where We Are, I Think There Are Some Things I Agree With And Some Things I Don't Agree With, And I Think That's Absolutely Fair Game.

Modern Slavery - Be It Bonded Labor, Involuntary Servitude, Or Sexual Slavery - Is A Crime And Cannot Be Tolerated In Any Culture, Community, Or Country ... [it] Is An Affront To Our Values And Our Commitment To Human Rights.

Recently In Washington, Unfortunately, We Have Seen Examples Of The Wrong Kind Of Leadership -- When Politicians Choose Scorched Earth Over Common Ground, When They Operate In What I Call The 'evidence-free Zone,' With Ideology Trumping Everything Else.

One Thing We Know For Sure Is That Change Is Certain. Progress Is Not. Progress Depends On The Choices We Make Today For Tomorrow And On Whether We Meet Our Challenges And Protect Our Values.

After 9/11, I Went To Work With Republican Mayor, Governor And President To Rebuild New York And To Get Health Care For Our First Responders Who Were Suffering Because They Had Run Toward Danger And Gotten Sickened By It.

Making College Affordable Is A Really Important Goal, And My Plan Will Work Better Than Senator [bernie] Sanders' Plan By Everybody Who Has Looked At It.

I Will Not Let Somebody Who Traffics In Bigotry And Bullying Become President Of The United States.

What We Are Learning Around The World Is That If Women Are Healthy And Educated, Their Families Will Flourish. If Women Are Free From Violence, Their Families Will Flourish. If Women Have A Chance To Work And Earn As Full And Equal Partners In Society, Their Families Will Flourish. And When Families Flourish, Communities And Nations Do As Well.

I Think I Have This Old-fashioned Idea That When You Are Asking People To Vote For You, It Is Kind Of Like A Big Job Interview, And You Oughta Tell People What You Think You Can Do For Them. I Think We Can Create More Economic Opportunity. I Think We Can Improve Education, Make College Affordable, Deal With The Myriad Of Issues That We Confront.

It's Important To Recognize The Vital Role That The Financial Markets Play In Our Economy And That So Many Of You Are Contributing To. To Function Effectively Those Markets And The Men And Women Who Shape Them Have To Command Trust And Confidence, Because We All Rely On The Market's Transparency And Integrity. So Even If It May Not Be 100 Percent True, If The Perception Is That Somehow The Game Is Rigged, That Should Be A Problem For All Of Us, And We Have To Be Willing To Make That Absolutely Clear.

Every Moment Wasted Looking Back, Keeps Us From Moving Forward.

In A Lot Of Places, Our Police Are Outgunned. We Need Comprehensive Background Checks, And We Need To Keep Guns Out Of The Hands Of Those Who Will Do Harm.

We Know That Much Of The Training And The Direction For Terrorists Comes From Pakistan And The Border Area With Afghanistan

I Feel That At This Point In Our Country's History, It Is Important That We Not Reverse Marriage Equality, That We Not Reverse Roe V. Wade, That We Stand Up Against Citizens United, We Stand Up For The Rights Of People In The Workplace, That We Stand Up And Basically Say: The Supreme Court Should Represent All Of Us. That's How I See The Court, And The Kind Of People That I Would Be Looking To Nominate To The Court Would Be In The Great Tradition Of Standing Up To The Powerful, Standing Up On Behalf Of Our Rights As Americans.

Together Let's Defend The Shared Values That Already Make America And Israel Great.

I Believe We Have To Take This Step By Step To Try To Reign In Iranian Aggression, Their Support For Terrorism And The Other Bad Behavior That Can Come Back And Haunt Us.

You Know, We Did A Good Job In Containing The Soviet Union, But We Made A Lot Of Mistakes, We Supported Really Nasty Guys, We Did Some Things That We Are Not Particularly Proud Of, From Latin America To Southeast Asia, But We Did Have A Kind Of Overarching Framework About What We Were Trying To Do That Did Lead To The Defeat Of The Soviet Union And The Collapse Of Communism. That Was Our Objective. We Achieved It.

I Try To Schedule At Least One Day A Week To Catch Up, To Feel Like I'm Breathing Again. I Take Vitamins.

I Think What Secretary Ash Carter Is Seeing, And I'm Glad He Is, Is That We Got To Get Nato Back Working For The Common Defense. We've Got To Do More To Support Our Partners In Nato, And We Have To Send A Very Clear Message To Putin That This Kind Of Belligerence, That This Kind Of Testing Of Boundaries Will Have To Be Responded To. The Best Way To Do That Is To Put More Armor In, Put More Money From The Europeans In So They're Actually Contributing More To Their Own Defense.

I Made Policy Decisions Based On What I Thought Was Right That Keep Americans Safe And To Protect U.s. Interests Abroad. No Wild Political Attacks By Donald Trump Is Going To Change That.

Let There Be No Mistake, Sen Sanders, His Campaign And The Vigorous Debate That We've Had About How To Raise Incomes, How To Reduce Inequality, Increase Upward Mobility, Has Been Very Good For The Democratic Party And For America.

There Is A Great Deal Of Political Pressure To Only Talk About Abstinence, And To Deny Support For Condoms And Education On Using Them. This Policy Will Lead To The Unnecessary Deaths Of Many People.

Let Us Say With One Voice, The Words Of James Cleveland's Great Freedom Hymn: "i Don't Feel No Ways Tired. I Come Too Far From Where I Started From. Nobody Told Me That The Road Would Be Easy. I Don't Believe He Brought Me This Far To Leave Me."

A Democracy Depends On The Full Integration Of Women Into Society, Especially On Seeing To It That They Have Equal Access To The Same Tools Of Opportunity As Men.

Although We Weren't Able To Shatter That Highest, Hardest Glass Ceiling This Time, Thanks To You, It's Got About 18 Million Cracks In It.

I Will Always Be Dedicated To The Talented Men And Women At Our Headquarters In Brooklyn And Across The Country.

One Of The Ways You Go After The Debt, One Of The Ways You Create Jobs Is By Investing In People.

I Want Us To Heal America And Bring It Together Because That's, I Think, The Best Way For Us To Get The Future That Our Children And Our Grandchildren Deserve.

The American Taxpayer Should Not Be Treated More Shabbily Than Debtors From Other Nations And We Should Be Encouraging Other Nations To Help Rebuild Iraq's Economy.

When I Took On The Drug Companies And The Insurance Companies For Universal Health Care Coverage, They Went After Me With A Vengeance.

Donald Trump Really Believes That The More You Help Wealthy People, The Better Off We'll Be And That Everything Will Work Out From There.

I'm Going To Do Everything I Can To Bring Our Policies In Line With The Way Families Live And Work Today By Guaranteeing Paid Family Leave And Making Child Care Affordable.

Forgiveness Is A Way Of Opening Up The Doors Again And Moving Forward, Whether It's A Personal Life Or A National Life.

Midterms Are Always Hard. And The Midterm In A Two-term President's Second Term Is Especially Hard.

We're Going To Have To Make It Clear That We Don't Want To Use The Kinds Of Tools That We Have. We Don't Want To Engage In A Different Kind Of Warfare. But We Will Defend The Citizens Of This Country.
