You Have To Believe In Who You Are And What Difference You Can Make.

You Believe, You Care, You Have Confidence In The Difference That You Can Make. And That's Not To Be Egotistical, It's Just To Be Confident.

Hillary Clinton Knows, As I Did Know, As My Women Members Know - That A Woman Being Elected To A Position, It's Not About What It Means To That Woman. It's Not About What It Means To Hillary To Be The First President. It's About What It Means To All Of The Women In America, That A Woman Has Broken The Ultimate Marble Ceiling And That Anything Is Possible For Them And Their Daughters - And Their Sons. It's About Sons, Too.

I Specially Want To Have Young Women Not To Wait As I Did Until My Children Were Grown, But Young Women To Come In To Gain Their Seniority So They Could Be Respected Leaders At A Much Earlier Age.

And If They Don't Have Family And They're Pursuing Their Career Women Should See That As Well.

What I Do Care About Is That It's An Obstacle To Other Women Entering Politics, Because They'll Say, "why Would I Do That? I Have Plenty Of Other Options." And Women With Plenty Of Options Are Just The Women That We Want To Be In Politics And Government.

Who's Taking Care Of The Children Is An Important Question For All Of Us.

I Have Worn My White And Purple, Colors Of The Suffragettes, In Honor Of The Fact That We Have Our First Woman President, Soon To Be, Hillary Clinton, Elected President Of The United States.

I Went To Congress To Change The Policies Of Our Country. I Did Not Go To Change The Behaviors Of Members Of Congress.

The Democrats Have Been There For Working People In Our Country. That's Who We Are, Trickle-down Vs. Middle-class Economics. That's The Major Difference Between The Parties.

After 100 Years Of Trying, Finally We Passed Health Care For All Americans As A Right For All - Not Just A Privilege For A Few.

The Fact Is That A Lot Of The Spending Increases Came During The Bush Administration. Two Unpaid For Wars We Got Ourselves Engaged In. A Prescription Drug Plan That Added Enormous Amounts To Our Spending, And The Tax Cuts At The High End That Did Not Create Jobs And Create Revenue Coming.

My Daughter Alexandra Once Told Me, "mother, You're A Pioneer. Now, Hardly Anybody Cooks, But You Were One Of The First To Stop."

When Americans Are Worried About Losing Their Jobs, Their Savings, Their Homes And Their Chance At The American Dream, Congress And The President Must Work Together To Lift Our Economy And Restore Hope. That Is The Course The New Direction Congress Will Continue In The Days And Weeks Ahead.

If You're Talking About Competing With Countries In The Industrialized, Developed World, They Don't Have Healthcare Costs. Their Societies Have That As A Priority.

Because It's Facilitated To Be Made More Affordable In A Public Way.

I'm Nancy Pelosi, But My Grandchildren Call Me Mimi. For Me, Politics Is An Extension Of My Role As A Mother And A Grandmother. For The Democratic Women Of The House, Our Work Is Not About The Next Election, But Rather The Next Generation.

I Have Absolutely No Regret About My Vote Against This War. The Same Questions Remain. The Cost In Human Lives, The Cost To Our Budget, Probably 100 Billion. We Could Have Probably Brought Down That Statue For A Lot Less.

I Don't Reject The Concept Of Preemptive War. I'm A Mother Of Five. I Have Five Grandchildren. And I Always Say: Think Of A Lioness. Think Of A Mother Bear. You Come Anywhere Near Our Cubs, You're Dead. And So, In Terms Of Any Threat To Our Country, People Have To Know We'll Be There To Preemptively Strike. But What The President [bush] Did Was, On The Basis Of No Real Intelligence For An Imminent Threat To Our Country, Chose To Go Into A War For Reasons That Are Still Unknown To Us.

Saddam Hussein Certainly Has Chemical And Biological Weapons. There's No Question About That.

We're Sad About Some Of The Losses Of Members Of Great Seniority And Distinction In The Congress, And Some Very New Members, Who Will No Longer Be Serving With Us.

I Went To All-girls' Schools My Whole Life, So Every Model Of Leadership That I Saw Was A Young Girl Or A Woman, And So There Was Never Any Hesitation That Women Could Lead. I Know What I Believe.

I Think Many Times Young Women Do Not Give Sufficient Weight To The Unique Contribution That They Can Bring To Any Discussion Or Any Cause. And They Have Within Them Something Very Special, And They Should Count All Of Their Experiences As A Plus.

The Situation In Iraq And The Reckless Economic Policies In The United States Speak To One Issue For Me, And That Is The Competence Of Our Leader.

I Do Think That Campaigns Are About Electing Somebody, But They're Also About A Discussion Of The Future Of Our Country.

In A Couple Of Days, It Will Be 40 Days, 40 Hours, 40 Years In The Desert - 40 Is Fraught With Meaning And Symbolism.

If Women Have Confidence In Themselves, They Will Have Confidence In Other Women.

Have Confidence

Confidence In Others

Let's Respect The Dignity Of Women To Make Their Own Decisions About The Size And Timing Of Their Families.

The More Women We Elect To Public Office, The More Wholesome The Whole Process Will Be, Whether It's Government, Politics, Whatever.

And, Cuts In Education, Scientific Research And The Rest Are Harmful, And They Are What Are Affected By The Sequestration.

People Say To Me All The Time, "oh, You Do Such A Good Job Unifying The House Democrats." I Say, "i Don't. Our Values Unify Us. We Are Unified With Our Commitment To America's Working Families About Job Creation, About Budget Policies That Invest In The Future, Good-paying Jobs."

I Come To This Debate, Mr. Speaker, As One At The End Of 10 Years In Office On The Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence, Where Stopping The Proliferation Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction Was One Of My Top Priorities. I Applaud The President On Focusing On This Issue And On Taking The Lead To Disarm Saddam Hussein... Others Have Talked About This Threat That Is Posed By Saddam Hussein. Yes, He Has Chemical Weapons, He Has Biological Weapons, He Is Trying To Get Nuclear Weapons.

Mass Destruction

We Have Our Differences Since The Beginning Of America. It's A Legitimate Difference. What Is The Role Of Government, Et Cetera, Federal, State, Local?

I Was Raised In An Italian Catholic Family In Baltimore, Maryland. Our Faith Is Very Important To Us, Our Patriotism, Love Of Faith, Love Of Family, Love Of Country. I Took Pride In Our Italian American Heritage And To Be The First Woman Speaker Of The House And The First Italian American Speaker Of The House, It's Quite Thrilling For Me.

The Only Time I'm The Only Woman In The Room Is When I Go To The Leadership Meeting.

Hillary Clinton Is Probably One Of The Best Prepared People To Walk Into The Oval Office Certainly In A Generation, With All The Love And Respect And Admiration That I Have For President Obama, And He's Been A Great President, Going In He Was Nowhere Nearly As Prepared As Hillary Clinton.

The Issue Of Childcare Is The Missing Link In The Full Contribution Of Women To Our Society And To Our Economy.

This President Goes Into Office With More Expectations Than Any President I Can Ever Remember In My Lifetime.-2008

On The Subject Of Money And Politics And The Rest, I Have A Dare: Disclose Who Are These People; Amend The Constitution To Overturn Citizens United; Reform: Let's Have Public Financing Of Campaigns; And Empower.

The Word 'campaign' Is A War Term. So When You Go Into A Campaign You Just Prepare To Go To War. If You Think This Is An Exercise In Civic Activity... Then You Are Going To Be Surprised.

Time Is Our Most Finite Commodity, Therefore Our Most Valuable, And I Respect Other Peoples' Time.

Respecting Others

I Believe That We Won't Get The Fullest Contribution From Women, They Won't Be Able To Reach Their Fullest Aspirations, Until We Take A Completely Different Look At How We Make Healthcare More Affordable, Higher Quality, With Better Access To Many More Women.

I'm Always Touched When I Go To Events And Stuff, To Meet Fathers Who Come Up To Me And Thank Me And Say, "because Of You My Young Daughter Knows That She Can Do Anything She Sets Out To Do." And The Way Young Girls Are Raised Now, I Don't Think There's Any Doubt That They Know They Can Do Anything. And If What Goes By The By Is That They Don't Feel They Have To Be In Solidarity With All Other Women, That's O.k. As Long As They Know That That Strength Has Been There In The Past And Can Be There In The Future For Them.

As We Move Forward To Debate Our Economic And Fiscal Challenges In The Weeks And Months Ahead, One Thing Is Clear: Our Economic Agenda, Choices And Decisions, Will Be Viewed Through The Perspective And The Eyes Of Our Nation's Women And Their Needs And Those Of Their Families.

I Have Always Said, In My Own Rise In The Leadership, Please Don't Ever Ask Anybody To Vote For Me Because I'm A Woman.

So When [donald Trump] Makes His Address On The 40 Days That He Has Been President, He Has Nothing To Show For It But Fear In Every Way.

I Believe That The President's (bush) Leadership In The Actions Taken In Iraq Demonstrate An Incompetence In Terms Of Knowledge, Judgment And Experience In Making The Decisions That Would Have Been Necessary To Truly Accomplish The Mission Without The Deaths To Our Troops And The Cost To Our Taxpayers.

If Somebody's Hacking You, You Don't Want Them To Know That You Know.

America Must Be A Light To The World, Not Just A Missile.

Jobs Mean Freedom For Workers To Support Their Families.

Republicans Always Are Gearing Whatever They Do To Benefit The High End.

Did I Ever Tell My Constituents That If They Liked Their Plan They Could Keep It? I Would Have If I'd Ever Met Anybody Who Liked His Or Her Plan. But That Was Not My Experience.

Women Are Leaders Everywhere You Look - From The Ceo Who Runs A Fortune 500 Company To The Housewife Who Raises Her Children And Heads Her Household. Our Country Was Built By Strong Women And We Will Continue To Break Down Walls And Defy Stereotypes.

The President Of The United States, The Most Famous Person In The World, Maybe In The Whole Galaxy - In A Long Time - He Had To Spend Like A Billion Dollars To Set The Record Straight.

I'm Confident In The American People.

If You Make - Not Have - $1 Million A Year, Should You Not Participate In The Sense Of Community Of Our Country? I'm Willing To Put That On The Table.

My Biggest Fight Has Been Between Those Who Wanted To Do Something Incremental And Those Who Wanted To Do Something Comprehensive. We Won That Fight, And Once We Kick Through This Door, There'll Be More Legislation To Follow.

We Had Early On Women Having The Right To Vote, Then Women In The Workforce During Wwii, Just Going Back In History, And Then We Had The Higher Education Of Women, And Then Women More Fully Participating In The Economy And In Business, The Professions, Education, You Name The Subject... But The Missing Link Has Always Been: Is There Quality, Affordable Healthcare For All Women, Regardless Of What Their Family Situation Might Be?
