More From Hillary Clinton

I'm Not Responding To Any Of The Personal Attacks That Come From Donald Trump, Because He Can Say Whatever He Wants About Me, And I Have More Votes Than He Does As We Sit Here Today. More Americans Have Voted For Me.

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.

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.

Running For Office In Our Country Takes A Lot Of Money, And Candidates Have To Go Out And Raise It. New York Is Probably The Leading Site For Contributions For Fundraising For Candidates On Both Sides Of The Aisle, And It's Also Our Economic Center. And There Are A Lot Of People Here Who Should Ask Some Tough Questions Before Handing Over Campaign Contributions To People Who Were Really Playing Chicken With Our Whole Economy.

We've Got To Provide Additional Help To Small Businesses So That They Can Afford To Provide Health Insurance.

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.

I Have Made The Cause Of Children And Families Really My Life's Work.

While Millions Of American Families, Including Mine And Yours, Were Working Hard Paying Our Fair Share, It Seems Donald Trump Was Contributing Nothing To Our Nation. Imagine That. Not Fair. Nothing For Pell Grants To Help Kids Go To College. Nothing For Veterans. Nothing For Our Military.

When An Army Unit Returns From Service In Iraq Or Afghanistan, It Barely Gets A Breather Before It Begins Training For Its Next Deployment.

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.

You [hillary Clinton] Are The Puppet!

We Democrats Believe In An America Where No Matter Who You Are Or Where You Come From, You Should Have An Equal Shot At Success.

I Don't Think The Police, Even If We Train Them, Can Be, You Know, As Good As Psychologists And Psychiatrists And Others Knowing What Is Happening To Somebody. So We've Got To Have A More Coherent, Comprehensive Approach.

I Intend To Defeat Isis, To Do So In A Coalition With Majority Muslim Nations.

If You Give Me The Privilege Of Your Vote Tomorrow, That's What I Will Do Every Single Day Of My Presidency, To Knock Down Barriers, To Create Opportunities So That You Have The Chance To Fill Your Own Dreams. You See, I Believe America's Best Days Are Still Ahead Of Us.

If You Get Arrested, You`re Supposed To Know Why You`re Arrested. So, Freddie Gray Should Have Known Why He Was Arrested. His Friends, His Family, His Community, They Should Have Known What He Was Charged With, Why He Was Arrested. And The Police Should Have Come Out With That Right Away.

With All Due Respect, The Fact Is We Had Four Dead Americans. Was It Because Of A Protest Or Was It Because Of Guys Out For A Walk One Night Who Decided They'd Go Kill Some Americans? What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make? It Is Our Job To Figure Out What Happened And Do Everything We Can To Prevent It From Ever Happening Again.

It Saddens Me That A Historic Event Like This Is Being Misconstrued By A Small But Vocal Group Of Critics Trying To Spread The Notion That The Un Gathering Is Really The Work Of Radicals And Atheists Bent On Destroying Our Families.

I Would Not Use American Ground Forces In Syria. I Think That Would Be A Very Serious Mistake. I Don't Think American Troops Should Be Holding Territory, Which Is What They Would Have To Do As An Occupying Force. I Don't Think That Is A Smart Strategy.

I'm Not Making Excuses For The Missed Opportunities Of The Israelis, Or The Lack Of Generosity, The Lack Of Empathy That I Think Goes Hand-in-hand With The Suspicion. So, Yes, There Is More That The Israelis Need To Do To Really Demonstrate That They Do Understand The Pain Of An Oppressed People In Their Minds, And They Want To Figure Out, Within The Bounds Of Security And A Jewish Democratic State, What Can Be Accomplished.

We Have To Save As Many Lives As We Possibly Can.

All One Can Do Is Live The Life That God Gave You, And You Know, You Just Do The Best You Can. And If Somebody Likes You Or Doesn't Like You, That's Really, In Many Ways, Something You Have No Control Over.

I Think When Somebody's Out In The Public Eye, That's What They Do. So I'm Fully Comfortable With Who I Am, What I Stand For, And What I've Always Stood For.

I Believe That When We Have Millions Of Hard-working Immigrants Contributing To Our Economy, It Would Be Self-defeating And Inhumane To Try To Kick Them Out. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Will Grow Our Economy And Keep Families Together, And It's The Right Thing To Do.

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. I'm A Huge Supporter Of On-site Child Care. You Need Much More Sensitivity In The Workplace To The Challenges Young Women Go Through In Trying To Do Two Very Difficult Jobs Well.

Let's Finally Guarantee Equal Pay For Women.

I Will Defend Planned Parenthood. I Will Defend Roe V. Wade, And I Will Defend Women's Rights To Make Their Own Health Care Decisions.

There Cannot Be True Democracy Unless All Citizens Are Able To Participate Fully In The Lives Of Their Country.

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

I Am Not Taking A Position On Any Policy, But I Do Think There Is A Growing Sense Of Anxiety And Even Anger In America Over The Feeling That The Game Is Rigged. And I Never Had That Feeling When I Was Growing Up. Never.

Asking Saudi Arabia And Iran To Work Together, When They Can't Stand Each Other And Are Engaged In A Proxy Battle Right At This Moment.

I Think We Have To Take A Look At Corporate Law. We Have To Take A Look At The Incentives That We Can Perhaps Use To Encourage More Longer Term.

[donald Trump] Has A Long Record Of Engaging In Racist Behavior.

I Agree With The Secretary [hillary Clinton] That I Think What Has To Happen - And Let Me Just Mention What King Abdullah Of Jordan Said. I Think He Hit The Nail On The Head.

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.

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.

The United Nations And The Organization Of American States Have Named 2011 As The International Year For People Of African Descent. This Is An Opportunity For All Of Us Around The Globe To Celebrate The Diversity Of Our Societies And To Honor The Contributions That Our Fellow Citizens Of African Descent Make Every Day To The Economic, Social And Political Fabrics Of Our Communities.

The People Of New York Took A Big Chance On Me. And I'm Well Aware Of That.

Donald Trump Talks Us Down. He Makes Disparaging Comments About America. He Calls Our Military A Disaster. Well, It's Not, But It Might Have Been If Everybody Else Had Failed To Pay Taxes To Support Our Brave Men And Women In Uniform.

I Certainly Don't Read Coverage Of Me, I Read What Else Is Going On That I Need To Know About To Do My Job.

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.

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

The Republicans Can't Go After Donald Trump Where I Think He Needs To Be Criticized.

If Companies Try To Leave Our Country To Avoid Paying Their Fair Share, If They Try To Outsource Jobs, They're Going To Have To Give Back Every Tax Break They Ever Received In Our Country.

Rich People, God Bless Us. We Deserve All The Opportunities To Make Sure Our Country And Our Blessings Continue To The Next Generation.

A Man You Can Bait With A Tweet Is Not A Man We Can Trust With Nuclear Weapons.

I'm Reaching Out To All Americans - Democrats, Republicans, And Independents - Because We Need Everybody To Help Make Our Country What It Should Be, To Grow The Economy, To Make It Fairer, To Make It Work For Everyone. We Need Your Talents, Your Skills, Your Commitments, Your Energy, Your Ambition.

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 Look For People Who Have Raw Intelligence And A Great Work Ethic And Loyalty, And I Can Quickly Identify People Who Have The Right Ingredients. But Sometimes It Is More Difficult To Get Them To Accept The Fact That They Can Take On Increasing Responsibility. Oftentimes Individuals Will Decide How Far [they] Go By How Much Work They're Willing To Put In And How Quick They Are To Ask For Help. Too Many People Have This Deep-seated Fear That If They Ask For Help, They Will Be Thought Less Of.

We're Going To Do Everything We Can To Make Sure Workers Are Treated Like Assets, Not Costs.

Don't Let Anybody Tell You It's Corporations And Businesses That Create Jobs.

It's Just A Fact That If You're A Young African-american Man And You Do The Same Thing As A Young White Man, You Are More Likely To Be Arrested, Charged, Convicted, And Incarcerated. So We've Got To Address The Systemic Racism In Our Criminal Justice System.

I'm Not Going To Be Responding To [donald Trump].

I've Had The Great Honor Of Traveling Across The World On Behalf Of Our Country. I've Been To Countries Where Governments Either Forced Women To Have Abortions, Like They Used To Do In China, Or Forced Women To Bear Children, Like The Used To Do In Romania.

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.

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

Donald Trump Always Is Looking For Some Conspiracy.

Everything That Happens In America Happens In New York.

The Present System Is Unsustainable. The Only Question Is Whether We Will Master The Change Or It Will Master Us.

There's No Doubt Now That Russia Has Used Cyber Attacks Against All Kinds Of Organizations In America, And I Am Deeply Concerned About This.

We Have To Do More To Make It Easier For Parents To Balance Work And Family. If You Left College With A Ton Of Loans, It`s Not Enough Just To Make College More Affordable. You Need Help Right Now With The Debt You Already Have.

I Will Fight Against The Division Politics Of Revenge And Retribution. If You Put Me To Work For You, I Will Work To Lift People Up, Not Put Them Down.

If I Remembered When People Said Mean Things About Me, I Would Never Speak To The Media Again.

As Love And Joy Flood Our Streets Today, It Is Hard To Imagine How Anyone Could Deny The Full Protection Of Our Laws To Any Of Our Fellow Americans - But There Are Those Who Would.

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.

We Need To Make It Easier For Companies To Invest In Good Jobs Here At Home.

When We Liberate The Economic Potential Of Women, We Elevate The Economic Performance Of Communities, Nations, And The World... There Is A Stimulative And Ripple Effect That Kicks In When Women Have Greater Access To Jobs And The Economic Lives Of Our Countries: Greater Political Stability. Fewer Military Conflicts. More Food. More Educational Opportunity For Children... By Harnessing The Economic Potential Of All Women, We Boost Opportunity For All People.

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

I Am Somewhat Influenced By The Years That I've Spent Trying To Actually Get Things Done, Whether It Was Reforming Education In Arkansas Or A Survey And Legal Services Corporation Board When President [jimmy ]carter Appointed Me And Trying To Get Lawyers For Poor People. I Have Worked In These Areas. I Know It's More Than Just A Hope. You've Got To Translate It Into A Policy That Leads To Action.

A Respected Health Economist Said That These Plans Would Cost A Trillion Dollars More A Year.

I Don't Want [to Work] People Who Agree With Me. I Want Honest, Spirited, Hard-working, Patriotic People Who Want To Be Part Of A Team, The American Team.

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. We Inherited A Lot Of Bad Feelings From The [george W.] Bush Administration, And Much Of What I Spent My Time Doing Was Traveling Around The World Reassuring Friends And Allies.

Here At Home, For Goodness's Sakes, We Have To Finally Pass A Law Prohibiting People On The Terrorist Watch List From Being Able To Buy A Gun In The United States Of America.

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.

American Values Are Not Just About America, But They Speak To The Human Dignity, The God-given Spark That Resides In Each And Every Person Across The World.

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.

Senator [bernie] Sanders Is The Only Person Who I Think Would Characterize Me, A Woman Running To Be The First Woman President, As Exemplifying The Establishment.

Our Largest Companies Should Not Be Able To Get Away With Paying Hardly Anything At All. It Is Insulting When They Engage In These Games Like Moving Their Headquarters Over To A Foreign Country, On Paper, Not In Reality, Just To Take Advantage Of Lower Tax Breaks.

I Can't Stand Whining.

You Don`t Build A Coalition By Insulting Our Friends Or Acting Like A Loose Cannon. You Do It By Putting In The Slow, Hard Work Of Building Relationships.

From My Perspective It Matters What We Do, Not What We Say. It Mattered That We Got Bin Laden, Not The Name We Called Him.

I Believe In Delegating Power.

The Facts Are - I Did Say I Hoped It [trans-pacific Partnership] Would Be A Good Deal, But When It Was Negotiated Which I Was Not Responsible For, I Concluded It Wasn't. I Wrote About That In My Book.

There's A Lot That The Majority, A Big Majority Of The American People Want To See Us Do And I'm Very Excited About That Work. I Think The Democratic Party Has A Record Of Being Better For The Economy When We Hold The White House.

I Don't Think You Could Find Any Person In Political Life Today Who Has Been Subjected To More Attacks And Had More Money Spent Against Her By Special Interests, Among Whom You Have Named A Few, Than I.

[young People] Can't Do Much With [student Debt] Other Than Try To Figure Out How To Pay It Down. They Can't Take Jobs They Want. They Can't Get The Credit They Would Like To Start A Business. So We're Going To Refinance It, We're Going Move People Into Income-contingent Repayment Plans, We're Going To Have A Date Certain When Their Obligations End, And I'm Not Going To Let The Government Harass Kids.

I Have Clearly Said We Faced Terrorist Enemies Who Use Islam To Justify Slaughtering Innocent People And We Have To Stop Them And We Will. We Have To Defeat Radical Jihadist Terrorism.

I Can Only Say That I'm Certainly Relieved That My Late Father Never Did Business With Donald Trump. He Provided A Good Middle-class Life For Us, But The People He Worked For, He Expected The Bargain To Be Kept On Both Sides.

You Can Ask Anybody Who's Ever Worked For Me Or Worked With Me, Who's Ever Served With Me, When I Tell You I'm Going To Try To Do Something, I Will Get Up Every Single Day And Work My Heart Out For You.

I'm Not A Robot - I Don't Do The Robot Stuff, Yeah.

I Do Not Add A Penny To The National Debt.

Stop-and-frisk Was Found To Be Unconstitutional And, In Part, Because It Was Ineffective. It Did Not Do What It Needed To Do.

A Nuclear-weapons Armed Iran Is Not In Anyone's Human-rights Interests. That Is A Direct Threat To The Lives And The Livelihoods And The Stability Not Only Of The Region But Beyond.

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

Several People Have Told Me That One Of The Most Meaningful Events They Could Attend Would Be Something At The White House With Their Children.

We've Got To Get Guns Out Of The Hands Of People Who Should Not Have Them.

I'm In Charge Of The State Department's 60,000-plus People All Over The World, 275 Posts.

For All The Injustices In Our Past And Our Present, We Have To Believe That In The Free Exchange Of Ideas, Justice Will Prevail Over Injustice, Tolerance Over Intolerance And Progress Over Reaction.

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.

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

I Said It Was A Mistake. It Wasn't The Best Choice. But All My Emails Have Been Turned Over To The Public.

You Can Be Maybe Rented But Never Bought.

I Don't Feel Particularly Courageous.

Why Extremists Always Focus On Women Remains A Mystery To Me. But They All Seem To. It Doesn’t Matter What Country They’re In Or What Religion They Claim. They All Want To Control Women. They Want To Control How We Dress. They Want To Control How We Act. They Even Want To Control The Decisions We Make About Our Own Health And Our Own Bodies. Yes, It Is Hard To Believe But Even Here At Home We Have To Stand Up For Women’s Rights And We Have To Reject Efforts To Marginalize Any One Of Us, Because America Has To Set An Example For The Entire World.

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

How Do We Prevent Attacks? How Do We Protect Our People?i Think We've Got To Have An Intelligence Surge, Where We Are Looking For Every Scrap Of Information.

If We Were To Normalize Relations Right Now, We Would Remove One Of The Biggest Pieces Of Leverage We Have To Try To Influence And Change Iranian Behavior.

Different Presidents Have Different Strengths, They Bring Different Life Experiences.

Life Experience

Donald Trump Doesn't Release His Tax Returns And Is Indebted To Foreign Banks And Foreign Lenders.

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. And I Hope That People Will Say, "hey, She's Getting It Done." That's How I Think About It.

The Bottom Line On Nuclear Weapons Is That When The President Gives The Order, It Must Be Followed. There's About Four Minutes Between The Order Being Given And The People Responsible For Launching Nuclear Weapons To Do So. And That's Why 10 People Who Have Had That Awesome Responsibility Have Come Out And, In An Unprecedented Way, Said They Would Not Trust Donald Trump With The Nuclear Codes Or To Have His Finger On The Nuclear Button.

We Didn't Put A Single Boot On The Ground, And [muammar] Gaddafi Was Deposed. The Libyans Turned Out For One Of The Most Successful, Fairest Elections That Any Arab Country Has Had. They Elected Moderate Leaders.

I'm Not Going To Quit. Why Should I Quit? This Country Is Worth Fighting For.

I Am Quite Bereft That I've Lost The Emoticons From My Latest New Old Berry. Is There Anyway [sic] I Can Add Them.

I Want Us To Do More To Support People Who Are Struggling To Balance Family And Work.

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 You Know By Now That I've Been Called Many Things By Many People. Quitter Is Not One Of Them.

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.

A Wall Street Money Manager Should Not Be Able To Pay A Lower Tax Rate Than A Teacher Or A Nurse.

I Pay For Everything I'm Proposing.

If A Country Doesn't Recognize Minority Rights And Human Rights, Including Women's Rights, You Will Not Have The Kind Of Stability And Prosperity That Is Possible.

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.

It Is A Violation Of Human Rights When Governments Declare It Illegal To Be Gay.

Violation Of Human Rights

Women Are The Largest Untapped Reservoir Of Talent In The World.

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.

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.

I'm A Grandmother And Like Every Grandmother, I Worry About The Safety And Security Of My Grandchildren, But My Worries Are Not The Same As Black Grandmothers.

I Do Think, You Know, You Don't Have To Have 30 Billion, But You Have A Certain Level Of Freedom.

People Are Motivated To Vote Early, To Defend Core American Values.

I'm Going To Use The White House And Every Tool At My Disposal As Your President To Make The Case That Patriotism Is Profitable.

What I Want People To Know Is I Went To Wall Street Before The Crash. I Was The One Saying You're Going To Wreck The Economy Because Of These Shenanigans With Mortgages. I Called To End The Carried Interest Loophole That Hedge Fund Managers Enjoy. I Proposed Changes In Ceo Compensation.

I Think It's Time That The Wealthy And Corporations Paid Their Fair Share To Support This Country.

Some People Think Elections Are A Game: Who's Up Or Who's Down. It's About Our Country. It's About Our Kids' Future. It's About All Of Us Together. Some Of Us Put Ourselves Out There And Do This Against Some Difficult Odds. We Do It, Each One Of Us, Against Difficult Odds. We Do It Because We Care About Our Country. Some Of Us Are Right, And Some Of Us Are Not. Some Of Us Are Ready, And Some Of Us Are Not. Some Of Us Know What We Will Do On Day One, And Some Of Us Haven't Thought That Through.

You Know, People Make A Lot Of Money Talking About Me, Don't They? They Just Get On Those Shows, And They Talk Away. There's Nothing I Can Do. And That's One Of The Great Lessons I Try To Convey In My Book, Which My Mother Implanted In Me As A Young Girl.. Is You Can Either Be An Actor In Your Own Life, Or A Reactor In Somebody Else's.

You've Got To Ask Yourself, Why Won't Donald Trump Release His Tax Returns? I Think There May Be A Couple Of Reasons. First, Maybe He's Not As Rich As He Says He Is. Second, Maybe He's Not As Charitable As He Claims To Be. Third, We Don't Know All Of His Business Dealings, But We Have Been Told Through Investigative Reporting That He Owes About $650 Million To Wall Street And Foreign Banks. Or Maybe He Doesn't Want The American People To Know That He's Paid Nothing In Federal Taxes.

There Is No Question In My Mind That If We Summon Our Resources, Both Our Leadership Resources And All Of The Tools At Our Disposal, Not Just Military Force, Which Should Be Used As A Last Resort, But Our Diplomacy, Our Development Aid, Law Enforcement, Sharing Of Intelligence In A Much More Open And Cooperative Way. We Can Bring People Together, But It Cannot Be An American Fight.

We Need To Address The Economic Issues Around The Kitchen Table, And If People Want A More High-minded Politics And Want To Move Our Country Forward, Go On To Martinomalley.com And Help My Campaign Move Our Country Moves.

Costs Are Incurred Whenever Any Group Is Treated As Lesser Or The Other, Whether They Are Women, Racial, Or Religious Minorities, Or The Lgbt.

My Wish For The New Millennium Is For All Children... To Grow Up Wiser, And Stronger And More Prosperous For The Future Than Ever Before.

We Got A Rally A Little While Later - To Talk To The Rally Because What I Heard At That Meeting [in Flint] - It Was Almost Impossible For Me To Believe That I Was Listening To People In The United States Of America In The Year 2016.

I Always Believed You Could Learn Something From Nearly Everybody You Meet, If You're Open To It.

I Want A Country Where Citizens Like You And Your Family Are Just As Welcome As Anyone Else.

I Think We Need To Do Much More With Our Tech Companies To Prevent Isis And Their Operatives From Being Able To Use The Internet To Radicalize, Even Direct People In America And Europe And Elsewhere.

Everybody Has Some Dysfunction In Their Families.

I'm Not Running For Some Americans But For All Americans.

Equal Pay Is Not Yet Equal. A Woman Makes $0.77 On A Dollar And Women Of Color Make $0.67... We Feel So Passionately About This Because We Are Not Only Running For Office, But We Each, In Our Own Way, Have Lived It. We Have Seen It. We Have Understood The Pain And The Injustice That Has Come Because Of Race, Because Of Gender. And It's Imperative That... We Make It Very Clear That Each Of Us Will Address These Issues.

I Have Directed All My E-mails On Clintonemail.com In My Custody That Were Or Potentially Were Federal Records Be Provided To The Department Of State And On Information And Belief, This Has Been Done.

I Know Donald's [trump] Trying Very Hard To Plant Doubts About It, But I Hope The People Out There Understand: This Election's Really Up To You. It's Not About Us So Much As It Is About You And Your Families And The Kind Of Country And Future You Want. So I Sure Hope You Will Get Out And Vote As Though Your Future Depended On It, Because I Think It Does.

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.

In The Bible It Says They Asked Jesus How Many Times You Should Forgive, And He Said Seventy Times Seven. Well, I Want You All To Know That I'm Keeping A Chart.

People Are Stereotypes, They Are Caricaturized. It Comes From Both Sides Of The Political Aisle, It Comes From The Press. It's All About Conflict, It's All About Personality, And There Are Huge Stakes In The Policies That Are Being Debated, And I Think There's A Hunger Amongst A Very Significant, Maybe Even A Critical Mass Of Americans, Clustered On The Left, Right, And Center, To Have An Adult Conversation About How We're Going To Solve These Problems ... But It's Not For The Fainthearted.

Well, Human Security Is A Concept That I Am Very Committed To Enshrining In American Foreign Policy.

As President, I Will Ramp Up Enforcement Of Trade Rules By Appointing A New Chief Trade Prosecutor And Tripling The Number Of Enforcement Officers. We Will Work With Both Parties To Pass The Biggest Investment New Good Paying Jobs Since World War Ii.

My Mother And Grandmothers Could Never Have Lived My Life; My Father And My Grandfathers Could Never Have Imagined It. But They Bestowed On Me The Promise Of America, Which Made My Life And My Choices Possible.

When Donald Trump Says A Distinguished Judge Born In Indiana Can't Do His Job Because Of His Mexican Heritage, Or He Mocks A Reporter With Disabilities, Or Calls Women Pigs, It Goes Against Everything We Stand For.

When I Was Secretary Of State, I Went Around The World Advocating For America, But Also Advocating For Women's Rights, To Make Sure That Women Had A Decent Chance To Have A Better Life And Negotiated A Treaty With Russia To Lower Nuclear Weapons. Four Hundred Pieces Of Legislation Have My Name On It As A Sponsor Or Cosponsor When I Was A Senator For Eight Years.

Let's Stand Up For Taxpayers, Let's Stand Up For Consumers, And Let's Stand Up For Small Businesses, Which Create Most Of The Jobs In America.

On Some Campuses, Change Is Effected Through Nonviolent Or Even Violent Means.

I Believe American Corporations That Have Gotten So Much From Our Country Should Be Just As Patriotic In Return. Many Of Them Are, But Too Many Aren't. It's Wrong To Take Tax Breaks With One Hand And Give Out Pink Slips With The Other. And I Believe Wall Street Can Never, Ever Be Allowed To Wreck Main Street Again.

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

That Is The Number-one Threat We Face In The World. And It Becomes Particularly Threatening If Terrorists Ever Get Their Hands On Any Nuclear Material. So A Man Who Can Be Provoked By A Tweet Should Not Have His Fingers Anywhere Near The Nuclear Codes, As Far As I Think Anyone With Any Sense About This Should Be Concerned.

Bringing Undocumented Immigrants Out From The Shadows, Putting Them Into The Formal Economy Will Be Good, Because Then Employers Can't Exploit Them And Undercut Americans' Wages.

Donald Trump Poses A Serious Threat To America, Based On What He Has Said. He Is Unqualified To Be President And He Is Unfit Temperamentally To Be Commander-in-chief.

People Look At The Statue Of Liberty And They See A Proud Symbol. Donald Trump Looks At The Statue Of Liberty And Sees A Four.

There Are Places That Are Thriving In America That Don't Need Very Much Help, And Then There Are Places Where People Feel So Discouraged And So Left Behind, Like Nobody Cares About Them. And I Want To Try To Help There.

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.

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.

Keeping Your Head Down And Doing The Best Job You Can In The Beginning Gives You The Opportunity To Be Evaluated On The Basis Of The Contributions You Are Making. [then], When You Feel Strongly About Your Work Or About A Position, You'll Be Given More Attention [than] If You Hadn't Done That Constantly.

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

We Need To Rebuild Bonds Of Trust Between Our Police Officers And Our Communities.

This Year, The United States Renewed Funding Of Reproductive Healthcare Through The United Nations Population Fund, And More Funding Is On The Way. The U.s. Congress Recently Appropriated More Than $648 Million In Foreign Assistance To Family Planning And Reproductive Health Programs Worldwide. That's The Largest Allocation In More Than A Decade - Since We Last Had A Democratic President, I Might Add.

I Think The Stress On Income Inequality Is Something That Every American Should Take Seriously.

I Want To - On Behalf Of Myself, And I Think On Behalf Of A Majority Of The American People, Say That, You Know, Our Word Is Good.
