Throughout The 1980s, We Did Hear Too Much About Individual Gain And The Ethos Of Selfishness And Greed.

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. And It Certainly Takes More Than Trying On Make Up For A Year Of Insults And Insinuations By Dropping In On Our Neighbors For A Few Hours And Then Flying Home Again. That Is Not How It Works.

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.

We Have Fewer Troops In Afghanistan Than We Had Law Enforcement [officers] At The Olympics In Salt Lake City.

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.

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.

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 Think That The Decision To Go To War In Iraq Was A Mistake.

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

It Is No Longer Acceptable To Discuss Women's Rights As Separate From Human Rights.

Donald Trump Always Is Looking For Some Conspiracy.

I Think If You Were To Talk To Women Who Have Run, Both Successfully And Unsuccessfully, Nearly All Of Them Would Say, "you Learn So Much." You Learn About Yourself, What You're Capable Of Doing....

I Am A Fan Of The Social Policies That You Find In Europe
