More From Hillary Clinton

Every Marriage Is A Mystery To Me, Even The One I'm In. So I'm No Expert On It.

We Have To Bring Communities Together In Order To Begin Working On That As A Mutual Goal.

When I Was Secretary Of State, I Had To Be Responsible For Getting A Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty With Russia Through The Senate. We Needed, I Think, 13 Republican Votes To Get To 67. I Started Working In The Summer Making Just Endless Phone Calls, Meetings, Bringing Experts To Talk To Republicans, And Then We Finally Got It Done At The End Of The Year 2010. So I'm Excited To Roll Up My Sleeves And Get Into The Business Of Solving Problems And Making Progress Together.

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.

I Have Gone From A Barry Goldwater Republican To A New Democrat, But I Think My Underlying Values Have Remained Pretty Constant; Individual Responsibility And Community. I Do Not See Those As Being Mutually Inconsistent.

I Sometimes Think That I Didn't Leave The Republican Party, As Much As It Left Me.

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

Never Stop Believing That Fighting For What Is Right Is Worth It.

Never Stop Believing

A Man Who Can Be Provoked By A Tweet Should Not Have His Fingers Anywhere Near The Nuclear Codes.

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.

It's Dark And It's Divisive - Deporting 11 Million People, Talking About Law And Order, Calling Every Group Of People In America Names, Talking About Cutting Taxes On The Wealthy, Feeling Like Donald Trump Can Bring More Nuclear Weapons Into The World - I Mean, Everything He's Talked About Is A Form Of Change.

I Started Off As A Young Lawyer Working Against Discrimination Against African-american Children In Schools And In The Criminal Justice System. I Worked To Make Sure That Kids With Disabilities Could Get A Public Education, Something That I Care Very Much About. I Have Worked With Latinos - One Of My First Jobs In Politics Was Down In South Texas Registering Latino Citizens To Be Able To Vote. So I Have A Deep Devotion To Making Sure That An Every American Feels Like He Or She Has A Place In Our Country.

What's Important Here Is That The Republicans Agree With [donald Trump].

One Of The Best Investments We Can Make Is To Give Our Kids The Ingredients They Need To Develop In The First Five Years Of Life.

Any Chance I Get, I Will Dance.

America Is The Only Developed Nation In The World With No Guaranteed Paid Leave Of Any Kind. That Means We're Leaving A Whole Lot Of Talent On The Sidelines.

I Don't Spend My Hours Plotting For Somebody Else's Downfall.

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.

The Kind Of Plan That Donald [tramp] Has Put Forth Would Be Trickle-down Economics All Over Again. In Fact, It Would Be The Most Extreme Version, The Biggest Tax Cuts For The Top Percent Of The People In This Country Than We've Ever Had.

Every Day, No Matter What Is Happening Around Me, I Consciously Try To Discipline My Own Feelings And My Mind About What I Have To Be Grateful For, Because By Any Stretch Of The Imagination - Even During The Worst Times When People Are Accusing Me Of Things And Doing All That They Do - I'm A Very Lucky Person.

When I Was In The Senate, I Had Eight Great Years Working With The Community On Major Issues, Trying To Deal With Problems That People Brought To My Attention. That's Certainly What I Intend To Do As President. I Think That Is What President Obama Has Done.

What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make?

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

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?

We're Now On The Precipice Of Having A Potentially Much Better Economy, But The Last Thing We Need To Do Is To Go Back To The Policies That Failed Us In The First Place.

I Have The Experience We Need To Make The Changes We Want And I Think That's A Winning Case.

I Count My Blessings Every Single Day That I Am An American.

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

I Will Take Responsibility For Any Impression Or Anything I've Ever Done That People Have Legitimate Questions About. But I Think That It's Fair To Say There's Been A Concerted Effort To Convince People Like That Young Man Of Something, Nobody's Quite Sure What, But Of Something.

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

Historically, It Is Important To Try To Understand Your Adversary In Order To Figure Out How They Are Thinking, What They Will Be Doing, How They Will React.

We Ought To Be Doing All We Can To Make It Possible For Every Child To Fulfill His Or Her God-given Potential.

I Think That Is A Fair General Statement, But I Also Believe That Senator [barack] Obama Served On A Board With Mr. [bill] Ayers For A Period Of Time, The Woods Foundation, Which Was A Paid Directorship Position.

I Don't Think We Need To Have An Either/or Debate About The Use Of Military Force - I Think You Can Be Both Tough And Smart.

Barack Obama Went High, Despite Donald Trump's Best Efforts To Bring Him Down.

Home Is A Child's First And Most Important Classroom.

I Know Donald's [trump] Very Praiseworthy Of Vladimir Putin, But Putin Is Playing A Really Tough, Long Game Here. And One Of The Things He's Done Is To Let Loose Cyber Attackers To Hack Into Government Files, To Hack Into Personal Files, Hack Into The Democratic National Committee. And We Recently Have Learned That, You Know, That This Is One Of Their Preferred Methods Of Trying To Wreak Havoc And Collect Information.

We've Got To Have Good Schools In Every Zip Code.

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

It's Also Important That We Look At The Entire Global Situation. There's No Doubt That We Have Other Problems With Iran. But Personally, I'd Rather Deal With The Other Problems Having Put That Lid On Their Nuclear Program Than Still To Be Facing That.

Whether I Am Meant To Or Not, I Challenge Assumptions About Women. I Do Make Some People Uncomfortable, Which I'm Well Aware Of, But That's Just Part Of Coming To Grips With What I Believe Is Still One Of The Most Important Pieces Of Unfinished Business In Human History - Empowering Women To Be Able To Stand Up For Themselves.

Unfinished Business

African-american Men Are More Likely To Be Killed In Police Incidents, Stopped And Searched, And Sentenced To Longer Prison Terms Than White Men Convicted Of Similar Crimes. Behind These Statistics Are Heart-wrenching Stories Of Lives Cut Short And Families Ripped Apart.

When Women Participate In The Economy, Everyone Benefits.

I've Tried To Be Very Specific About What We Can And Should Do.

The Episodic, Reactive, Almost Frantic Pace Of What Is Broadcast Makes Children Feel And Act Frantic And Shortens Their Attention Spans And Their Patience For Activities That Take Time And Problems That Don't Yield Immediate Solutions.

The Gun Lobby Whips Up People And Makes Them Believe That President Obama Or I Are Coming For Their Guns. Well, That's Ridiculous. And He's Said It, I Have Said It. But We Do Want To Save Lives By Keeping A Gun From Somebody Who Shouldn't Have It.

Learn From Your Mistakes, Trying To Figure Out What The Best Way To Go Forward Is.

You Shouldn't Have A Profit Motivation To Fill Prison Cells With Young Americans.

When We Talk About Donald Trump Business, He Has Taken Business Bankruptcy Six Times. There Are A Lot Of Great Businesspeople That Have Never Taken Bankruptcy Once.

I Know That Some Of Those Plans [of The North Korea] Could Very Well Lead To A Missile That Might Reach Hawaii, If Not The West Coast. We Do Have To Try To Get The Countries In The Region To Work With Us To Do Everything We Can To Confine, And Constrain Them.

I Want Us To Do More To Support People Who Are Struggling To Balance Family And Work. I've Heard From So Many Of You About The Difficult Choices You Face And The Stresses That You're Under. So Let's Have Paid Family Leave, Earned Sick Days. Let's Be Sure We Have Affordable Child Care And Debt-free College.

Children's Lives Are Not Shaped Solely By Their Families Or Immediate Surroundings At Large. That Is Why We Must Avoid The False Dichotomy That Says Only Government Or Only Family Is Responsible. . . . Personal Values And National Policies Must Both Play A Role.

I Believe That The Rights Of Women And Girls Is The Unfinished Business Of The 21st Century.

I Have Generally Not Responded To Sexism If It's About Me. And I Have Responded If It's About Somebody Else, Because If Women In General Are Being Degraded, Are Being Dismissed, Then I Can Respond In A Way That Demonstrates I'm Not Taking It Personally But I'm Really Serious About Rejecting That Kind Of Behavior.

Donald Trump Represents The Same Rigged System That He Claims He's Going To Change.

I Don't Think We Should Be About The Business Of Denying Voters In Michigan And Florida The Right To Be Heard.

Independent Voters

I Have Heard So Many Stories Of Contractors, And I've Met Some, Too, Who Worked For Donald Trump, Produced The Goods And Services And Never Got Paid For What They Were Owed.

I Want To Be The President For All Americans, Regardless Of Your Political Beliefs, Where You Come From, What You Look Like, Your Religion.

I Don't Think That Strategically It Is Smart To Begin Cutting Your Options When The Other Side Does Not Move At All.

The First Time I Spoke To A Group This Large Was At My College Commencement In 1969.

The President [barack Obama] Decided To Leave More Troops Than He Had Originally Planned In Afghanistan. We Have A Very Cooperative Government There, With Ashraf Ghani And His Top - His Top Partner, Abdullah. And They Are Doing Their Very Best. And The Afghan Army Is Actually Fighting. The Afghan Army Is Taking Heavy Losses Defending Afghan Territory.

We Have A Lot Of Kids Who Don't Know What Works Means. They Think Work Is A Four-letter Word.

I Can't Compete With Making Promises You Can't Keep.

I Had Often Joked In My Speeches That I Had Imaginary Conversations With Mrs. Roosevelt To Solicit Her Advice On A Range Of Subjects. It's Actually A Useful Mental Exercise To Help Analyze Problems, Provided You Choose The Right Person To Visualize. Eleanor Roosevelt Was Ideal.

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

I Cannot Imagine Anyone Being More Of An Outsider Than The First Woman President.

I'll Lift Up The Good Work That Is Happening And Hold Officers Or Departments That Engage In Unconstitutional Policing Accountable.

I Made A Mistake. That Happens. It Proves I'm Human, Which You Know, For Some People, Is A Revelation.

Democracies Have To Be Careful That They Do Not Become So Process-driven.

Democracies Have

I Care Deeply About Democratic Party And Our Agenda And Making Sure That We Can Continue To Build On President [barack] Obama`s Legacy. So Any Suggestion That I Am Doing Anything Other Than Manage This Primary Impartially And Neutrally Is Ludicrous.

I Meet People Who Can't Get Healthcare For Their Families, People Who Are Just Distressed Over What Is Happening In Our Country. So When Somebody Asks Me, "how Do You Get Up?" It Really Triggered In Me The Feeling That That's What I Want Us All To Think About Each Other. How Do We Get Up? How Do We Pull On Our Shoes, Go Out And Deal With The Problems America Faces. That's What I Intend To Do As President.

The Russians And The Chinese Have Been Absolutely Clear They Don't Want To See Iran With A Nuclear Weapon.

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

Donald Trump's Negative Enough, I Don't Need To Add To That.

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

If We Only Stopped To Listen To Them For A Few Minutes, Kids Could Tell Us That We Move Too Fast, For Their Good And Ours.

I Want To Teach. I Want To Speak. I Want To Travel.

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.

It's Very Much In Our Interest To Unite [with Bernie Sanders] As Quickly As Possible To Begin The Campaign Against Donald Trump. And I Think The Facts Really Speak For Themselves. I Have A Won A Big Majority Of The Popular Vote Of The States, Of Pledged Delegates, And We Want To Go Forward In A Positive And Unified Way.

I Am Calling For Common Sense Gun Safety Measures To Protect People.

Laws Have To Be Backed Up With Resources And Political Will. And Deep-seated Cultural Codes, Religious Beliefs And Structural Biases Have To Be Changed.

We Have A Lot Of Inequality, And I'm Not A One-issue Candidate, Because I Don't Think This Is A One-issue Country. So I Want To Knock Down All The Barriers That Stand In The Way Of People Getting Ahead And Staying Ahead.

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

In My Own Country, Many Of The Movies In Recent Years Express Our Innate Fears About What Awaits Us. They Are Apocalyptic Visions That Leave Only A Few People On Earth-whole Cities Surviving Under Domes Because We Have Depleted Our Natural Resources. And Often In These Movies, For Reasons That I Question, We Have Space Aliens Who Are Always Blowing Up Washington, D.c., And The White House.

I'm Going To Try To Get Everybody Who Makes Less Than $125,000 In Their Family, Which Is The Vast Majority Of People, To Be Able To Go To A Public College Or University Totally Tuition-free. And If You Make More Than That, Debt-free.

I Disagreed With The Way The Court Applied The Second Amendment In Heller's Case, Because What The District Of Columbia Was Trying To Do Was To Protect Toddlers From Guns And So They Wanted People With Guns To Safely Store Them. And The Court Didn't Accept That Reasonable Regulation, But They've Accepted Many Others. So I See No Conflict Between Saving People's Lives And Defending The Second Amendment.

Second Amendment

I'm Still Amazed At How My Mother Emerged From Her Lonely Early Life As Such An Affectionate And Levelheaded Woman.

I Have Met With Women Who Toward The End Of Their Pregnancy Get The Worst News One Could Get, That Their Health Is In Jeopardy If They Continue To Carry To Term Or That Something Terrible Has Happened Or Just Been Discovered About The Pregnancy. I Do Not Think The United States Government Should Be Stepping In And Making Those Most Personal Of Decisions. So You Can Regulate If You Are Doing So With The Life And The Health Of The Mother Taken Into Account.

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

In The 1980s, I Was Working To Reform The Schools In Arkansas. Donald Trump Was Borrowing $14 Million From His Father To Start His Businesses. In The 1990s, I Went To Beijing And I Said Women's Rights Are Human Rights. He Insulted A Former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, Called Her An Eating Machine.

I Mean, Honestly, We Have To Be Clear That The Life For Many Afghan Women Is Not That Much Different Than It Was A Hundred Years Ago, 200 Years Ago. The Country Has Lived With So Much Violence And Conflict That Many People, Men And Women, Just Want It To Be Over.

When You Are Engaged In Both Trying To Kill And Capture The Enemy And Get Support From The Local Population, You Have To Be Always Asking Yourself, "is What I'm Doing Keeping That Balance?"

While Donald Trump Was Busy With His Accountants Trying To Figure Out How To Keep Living Like A Billionaire, And All The While He Was Using His Political Connections To Collect Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars In Government Subsidies And Extra Tax Breaks For His Companies. In Other Words, Trump Was Taking From America With Both Hands, And Leaving The Rest Of Us With The Bill.

Donald Trump Is The Most Dangerous Person To Run For President In The Modern History Of America.

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.

[donald Trump] Suggestions That The United States Should Leave The Pacific And Let Japan, South Korea, Or Whoever Else Wants To Develop Nuclear Weapons. These Are Incredibly Dangerous Ideas That Need To Be Confronted.

The Way Donald Trump Talks About Terrorism And His Very Insulting Language Towards Muslims Is Making Him The Recruiting Sergeant For Isis.

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 Wanna Do The Very Best Job I Can To Fulfill The Trust And Faith That People Have In Me.

If There Are Issues, If There's Wrongdoing, People Have To Be Held Accountable And We Have To Try To Deter Future Bad Behavior.

Freedom Means The Right To Assemble, Organize, And Debate Openly. It Means Not Taking Citizens Away From Their Loved Ones And Jailing Them, Mistreating Them, Or Denying Them Their Freedom Or Dignity Because Of Peaceful Expression Of Their Ideas And Opinions.

I Just Want To Sleep And Exercise And Travel For Fun. And Relax. It Sounds So Ordinary, But I Haven't Done It For 20 Years.

My Plan Is Based On Growing The Economy, Giving Middle-class Families Many More Opportunities. I Want Us To Have The Biggest Jobs Program Since World War Ii, Jobs In Infrastructure And Advanced Manufacturing.

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.

A President Of The United States Should Not Have A Racist At His Side - Unacceptable.

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

You [hillary Clinton] Ran The State Department, $6 Billion Was Either Stolen. They Don't Know. It's Gone, $6 Billion.

If You Were An Elected Member Of Congress And People In Your Constituency Were Losing Jobs And Shutting Businesses And Everybody In The Press Is Saying It's All The Fault Of Wall Street, You Can't Sit Idly By And Do Nothing, But What You Do Is Really Important.

Music Education Can Help Spark A Child's Imagination Or Ignite A Lifetime Of Passion. When You Provide A Child With New Worlds To Explore And Challenges To Tackle, The Possibilities Are Endless. Music Education Should Not Be A Privilege For A Lucky Few, It Should Be A Part Of Every Child's World Of Possiblity.

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.

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.

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.

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 Bring The Experiences Of Women. As A Daughter, As A Mother, As A Wife, As A Sister. That Is Who I Am. Those Experiences Are Part Of Me. And It Is Part Of Our American Journey That We Have Moved Through So Much Of What Used To Hold People Back Because Of Gender, Because Of Race.

At A Time Of Change And Challenge At Home And Abroad, These Investments Will Enhance The Security Of Americans, Assure The Future American Leadership, And Help Build The Foundations Of Peace, Stability, And Prosperity In The Years Ahead.

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.

I Like To Remember What Michelle Obama Said In Her Amazing Speech At Our Democratic National Convention: When They Go Low, We Go High. And Barack Obama Went High, Despite Donald Trump's Best Efforts To Bring Him Down.

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.

I Think We Come At It From Somewhat Different Perspectives. You Know, Donald [trump] Was Very Fortunate In His Life, And That's All To His Benefit.

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.

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.

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.

We Are Out Of The Ditch, We're Standing, We're Walking, But We're Not Running. I Want To Grow The Economy.

We Need To Support New Organizing Strategies For Employees Who Too Often Have Never Had The Benefit Of Collective Bargaining, And We Have To Resist The Assault On Workers' Rights.

It's Also Important, Particularly For Privileged Kids, To Involve Them In Charitable Activities. It's A Way Of Raising Consciousness For Your Kids So They Don't Get Totally Sucked Into The Materialism And Celebrity Culture.

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.

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

I Will Fight Every Single Day To Pass Comprehensive Immigration-reform Legislation With A Path To Citizenship.

We [with Donald Trump] Just Have A Different View About What's Best For Growing The Economy, How We Make Investments That Will Actually Produce Jobs And Rising Incomes.

In A Democracy, If People Don't Have Accurate Information, How Can They Be Active Citizens? How Can They Be Part Of The Debate? And If You Are Facing Powerful Forces On The Right And In Trump Administration Who Want To Create An Alternative Reality That Feeds Into Their Objectives For Our Country, You More Than Ever Need The Press To Cut Through That, And To Be As Accurate As Possible.

I'll Get Involved In Philanthropy.

We Built A Life Together Based On The Things We Cared About, The Things That We Loved, We Were Blessed With A Daughter Who Turned Out Pretty Well I Would Say. We Have Been Very Blessed.

I Am A Sensitive Person, So It Is Actually Saddening To Learn That These Poverty-stricken Families Are Most Of The Time Mistreated Or Looked Down Upon. Help The Poor, Like How You Would Want To Be Helped If You Were In Their Position.

Sensitive Person

I Think Wherever We Can Cooperate With Russia, That's Fine. And I Did As Secretary Of State. That's How We Got A Treaty Reducing Nuclear Weapons. It's How We Got The Sanctions On Iran That Put A Lid On The Iranian Nuclear Program Without Firing A Single Shot.

My Husband May Have His Faults, But He Has Never Lied To Me.

I Have Absolutely No Interest In Running For President Again.

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.

I Think I've Set Some Big Goals. The American People Haven't Had A Raise In 15 Years. Getting Incomes Up Is A Huge Goal. Now Maybe It's Not As Exciting To Some People, But It's A Huge Goal.

We're Working With Nato, The Longest Military Alliance In The History Of The World, To Really Turn Our Attention To Terrorism.

We've Had Muslims In America Since George Washington. And We've Had Many Successful Muslims. We Just Lost A Particular Well-known One With Muhammad Ali.

From Her Concession Speech: 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...you Can Be So Proud That, From Now On, It Will Be Unremarkable For A Woman To Win Primary State Victories, Unremarkable To Have A Woman In A Close Race To Be Our Nominee, Unremarkable To Think That A Woman Can Be The President Of The United States. And That Is Truly Remarkable.

We Can Do Better. ...we Can't Ignore The Inequalities That Persist In Our Justice System That Undermine Our Most Deeply Held Values Of Fairness And Equality.

Fairness And Equality

I Think I've Been Very Consistent In My Values.

From My Perspective, You Get Up Every Day And You Get Out There And You Make Your Case, And You Reach As Many People As Possible.

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.

I Think We've Got To Understand The Complexity Of The World That We Are Facing And No Place Is More So Than In The Middle East.

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 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.

Yes, We've Cut The Maternal Mortality Rate In Half, But Far Too Many Women Are Still Denied Critical Access To Reproductive Health Care And Safe Childbirth, And Laws Don't Count For Much If They're Not Enforced. Rights Have To Exist In Practice - Not Just On Paper. Laws Have To Be Backed Up With Resources And Political Will. And Deep-seated Cultural Codes, Religious Beliefs And Structural Biases Have To Be Changed.

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.

We Do Have To Worry About North Korea. They Continue To Develop Their Nuclear Weapons Capability, And They're Working Very Hard On Their Ballistic Missile Capability.

Working Very Hard

The Way To Continue Our Fight Now To Accomplish The Goals For Which We Stand Is To Take Our Energy, Our Passion, Our Strength And Do All We Can To Help Elect Barack Obama.

God Bless The America We Are Trying To Create.

It Is Important That Women Support Each Other. Most Of Us Will At Some Point Get Married And Have Children, And How You Balance That Really Depends On The Quality Of Your Friends And Whether Your Friends Are There For You. It Also Depends On What The Policies Are In Your Workplace.

It Wasn't Until 1998 That I Ever Seriously Thought About Running For Office. And I Didn't Make Up My Mind To Do That Until 1999, And Then I Ran For The Senate. It Was Really Hard For Me.

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 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.

No Practice Or Tradition Trumps The Human Rights That Belong To All Of Us.

It's One Of The Reasons [vladimir Putin Invitation To U.s] Why 50 National Security Officials Who Served In Republican Information - In Administrations Have Said That Donald [trump] Is Unfit To Be The Commander- In-chief. It's Comments Like That That Really Worry People Who Understand The Threats That We Face.

In My First 100 Days, I'll Work With Both Parties To Make The Biggest Investment In Good-paying Jobs In Decades. We'll Also Raise The Minimum Wage - A Big Deal For The Nearly Two-thirds Of Minimum-wageworkers Who Are Women. And We'll Give Women The Tools They Need To Fight For Equal Pay. This Isn't Just A "women's Issue"т - It's An Issue Every American Should Care About, No Matter Their Gender.

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.

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.

I Think I Will Serve As Secretary Of State As My Last Public Position.

I Want To Focus On What Are Called Kitchen Table Issues. You Know, The Ones That Keep You Up At Night, Like The Cost Of Childcare And College And Prescription Drugs And So Much Else.

It Means A Great Deal To Have The Faith And Trust Of So Many People Who Share The View And Vision I Have For The Usa And I'm Going To Do Everything I Can Not To Let Them Down.

I Suppose I Could Have Stayed Home And Baked Cookies And Had Teas, But What I Decided To Do Was To Fulfill My Profession, Which I Entered Before My Husband Was In Public Life

Donald Trump Would Send Us Back Into Recession With His Tax Plans That Benefit The Wealthiest Of Americans.

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

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

Life Experience

I Can Only Hope That Whatever Image People Might Have Of Either Me Or Bill, They Will Hold In Advanced Until They Have An Opportunity To Meet Us.

I'm Not Concerned About What [donald Trump] Says About Me. That Doesn't Matter To Me. I'm Going To Stand Up For Immigrants. I'm Going To Stand Up For American Muslims Who Are Working Hard In This Country That They Love And Consider Their Own. I'm Going To Stand Up For Other Women. I'm Going To Stand Up For The Right To Choose.

No One Wants Their Personal Emails Made Public, And I Think Most People Understand That And Respect That Privacy.

I Wish We Weren`t Fighting All The Time To Protect Women`s Rights, To Protect Women`s Health.
