I Have Tried To Emphasize To People That, Hey, Just Like President Obama Was A Really Good President, And The Fact That He Was Black I Think Was Historic And Unprecedented, But He Also Claimed And Owned His Excellence, And That's Why I'm Saying, Okay - I Think It's Really Exciting And Historic That I Would Be The First Woman President, But I Have A Lot Of Work I Want To Do.

What Secretary Ash Carter Is Looking At Is The Constant Pressure That Russia's Putting On Our European Allies. The Way That Russia Is Trying To Move The Boundaries Of The Post-world War Ii Europe. The Way That He Is Trying To Set European Countries Against One Another, Seizing Territory, Holding It In Crimea. Beginning To Explore Whether They Could Make Some Inroads In The Baltics.

We've Got To Reach Out To Muslim Countries.we've Got To Have Them Be Part Of Our Coalition. If They Hear People Running For President Who Basically Shortcut It To Say We Are Somehow Against Islam, That Was One Of The Real Contributions, Despite All The Other Problems, That George W. Bush Made After 9/11 When He Basically Said After Going To A Mosque In Washington, We Are Not At War With Islam Or Muslims.

When I Spend My Time Out On The Campaign Trail, It's Usually About What I Can Do For Somebody Else. I Don't Like Talking About Myself, I Don't Like The Whole Atmosphere Of How People Are Judged In American Politics Too Often As To What You Say Instead Of What You Do. And So For Me It's Always About What Can I Do For You? How Can I Help You?

I Call It [donald's Trump Plan] Trumped-up Trickle-down, Because That's Exactly What It Would Be. That Is Not How We Grow The Economy.

It Is Because The Human Experience Is Universal That Human Rights Are Universal.

Human Experience

To Barack And Michelle Obama - America Owes You An Enormous Debt Of Gratitude.

There Is No Nation On The Planet Better Able To Adapt To This Change Than Our Nation. We Must Able To Work Collaboratively With Others. We Must Anticipate These Threats Before They Happen. This Is The New Sort Of Challenge, The New Sort Of Threat That Does, In Fact, Require New Thinking, Fresh Approaches And New Leadership.

I've Never Seen People As Physically Distraught As The Bush Administration Team Was Because Of What Was Happening To The Economy. I Personally Believe That The Steps That President Obama Took Saved The Economy. He Doesn't Get The Credit He Deserves For Taking Some Very Hard Positions. But It Was A Terrible Recession. So Now We've Dug Ourselves Out Of It, We're Standing, But We're Not Yet Running.

When The Middle Class Thrives, The Country Thrives, And When It Doesn't, We Don't.

Senator Kennedy Inspired So Many With His Decades Of Service, So I Can't Think Of A More Fitting Tribute Then Working To Educate And Motivate Future Generations Of Citizens And Public Servants Alike.

Presidents Should Be Very Careful At All Times In Discussing The Use Or Non-use Of Nuclear Weapons. Presidents Since The Cold War Have Used Nuclear Deterrence To Keep The Peace, And I Don't Believe That Any President Should Make Any Blanket Statements With Respect To The Use Or Non-use Of Nuclear Weapons.

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.

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 First Years Of Life Are Not Just Important; They Are More Crucial To Shaping Children Than Any Other Time. Even Before They Speak, Children Are Extremely Sensitive To The Messages Adults Send Them.

Donald Trump Lives In An Alternative Reality.

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.

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

The Only Way To Make A Difference Is To Acquire Power.

This Is A Moment In History Where It Is Almost Hard To Catch Your Breath.

How Do We Create Jobs For So Many Americans Who Are Feeling Pushed Out, Not Just Left Out, Pushed Out Of The Modern Economy. Obviously It's Skills And Education. But It's Also Jobs. So If I Could Do Anything It Would Be To Take This Moment In Time That We've Got When, Yes, Our Recovery Is Better, We've Had Steadier Growth, I Don't Think President [barack] Obama Frankly Gets The Credit He Deserves For The Kind Of Steady Hand That He And His Advisers Apply To Moving Through That Really Dangerous Period.

Don't Confuse Having A Career With Having A Life.

I Don't In Any Way Underestimate The Difficulties, Because It's Only Gotten Harder. But I Do Think You Just Have To Go Into Politics With The Attitude That You're Going To Speak Clearly And Authentically About What You See The Country Needs...and Seek Out Whatever Possible Partners You Can, Even In The Other Party. I've Looked At Successful Presidents Going Back. Some Of Our Most Successful Governed Through Periods When Their Party Was In Charge, And When The Other Party Was In Charge. There's No Magic Formula.

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

When We All Help Each Other Out, When We Stand Together, We Are Stronger Together.

There Is One Lesson From The Past, In Particular, That We Cannot Afford To Ignore: You Cannot Make Progress On Gender Equality Or Broader Human Development, Without Safeguarding Women's Reproductive Health And Rights.

Getting Countries Working Together Was My Job Every Day As Your Secretary Of State. It`s More Than A Photo Op. It Takes Consistency And Reliability.

Donald Trump Abuses His Power, Games The System, Puts His Own Interests Ahead Of The Country's.

I Think It Is Appropriate When You Look At The Test That You Have To Meet To Be Commander-in-chief For Americans To Be Thoughtful About, You Know, Who Has The Experience And The Approach That Is Best Likely To Work.

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.

We've Got To Be Prepared To Stop These Guys If They Ever Try To Use Their Economic Power Once Again, To Hurt The Economy, And To Hurt So Many Americans. And My Plan, Paul Krugman, Barney Frank, A Lot Of Experts Who Understand What The New Challenges Might Be, Have Said I Am Exactly On Point, And The Wall Street Guys Actually Know That.

You Know, We've Been Married For 22 Years ... And I Have Learned A Long Time Ago That The Only People Who Count In Any Marriage Are The Two That Are In It.

I Know From My Own Experience That You've Got To Be Ready On Day One. There Is Just Too Much Unpredictable Threat And Danger In The World Today To Try To Just Say Wait, I'll Get To That When I Can. That Is Just Not An Acceptable Approach.

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.

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

I Think There Were Bad Actors In The Government And Bad Actors In The Finance, Mortgage, Markets Industries That Need To Be Called Out And Held Accountable.

I Believe In Delegating Power.

I'm Just Am Amazed That He Seems To Think The Iraqi Government And Our Allies And Everybody Else Launched The Attack On Mosul For This Election [2016].

My Opponent Misses Something Important. When We Say America Is Exceptional, It Doesn`t Mean That People From Other Places Don`t Feel Deep National Pride, Just Like We Do. It Means That We Recognize America`s Unique And Unparalleled Ability To Be A Force For Peace And Progress.

The Biggest One [trade Deal], A Multinational One Known As Cafta, I Voted Against. And Because I Hold The Same Standards As I Look At All Of These Trade Deals.

I Think There's A Lot We Could Do That Maybe Would Give A Little More Decision Space To Ceos, To Shareholders Who Want To Hold For The Long Term, To Investors Who Want To Be Part Of The Long Term, That They Would Maybe Have A Little More Room To Withstand The Pressure That Is Otherwise Coming Down On Them.

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 Want People In All The Government Agencies To Be Communicating With People Because For Me, We're In An Era - Which Didn't Exist Before - Where You Can Have Instant Access To Information, And I Want To See My Government Be More Transparent.

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

Now, Florida Laws Do Not Regulate Assault Weapons Or Large Capacity Ammunition Magazines. Doesn't Even Require A Permit To Purchase A Gun Or Register It Or Be Licensed. So If We Don't Have Action On The Federal Level That Would Have Set Off The Alert, It Will Be Difficult To Interrupt The Plans Of Someone Like This Who Clearly, By The Time He Went And Purchased These Weapons.

I'm Not Going To Be Able To Wave A Magic Wand And Change Everybody's Thoughts. That's Something That Can Only Happen By People Working On Themselves And Being Held To Account By The Rest Of Us, But What Donald Trump's Done Really Unleashed A Lot Of Darkness And Divisiveness.

I Want To Invest In Hard-working Families.

Heavens, No! It Could Get Subpoenaed. I Can't Write Anything. When Asked If She Had A Diary.

I Want To Get The Economy Going Again. It's Not Just Enough About What We're Against, As Important As That Is.

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.
