Hillary Clinton

Everybody feels they have been trespassed upon, and nearly everybody has trespassed on somebody else, maybe not intentionally.

You don't walk away if you love someone. You help the person.

You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic - you name it.

Putin is playing the long game. He has a strategic plan in mind: the Eurasian Union, which would be in competition to Europe.

People can judge me for what I've done. And 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.

The most important questions for anybody thinking of running for president are not 'Will you run and can you win?' There is, 'What is your vision for America? And can you lead us there?'

I learned to be far more skeptical of what I'm told by presidents, no matter who the presidents are, and also to be much more cautious, always, in any action or vote that could lead to the use of American military power and most particularly what we call 'boots on the ground.'

When it comes to the Middle East, this is always a very difficult issue for any American president.

I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.

The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.

When I was younger and women first started to get in public positions, in my case the law, we went through a period where we wore those little ribbon ties, little bows. We tried to figure out what was our appropriate dress.

To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.

I feel very blessed to have a partner in life who supports me, who is enthusiastic about what I want to do, who has been a great father, and who will be a fabulous grandfather.

Extremism thrives amid ignorance and anger, intimidation and cowardice.

Hamas, we know, embeds missiles, embeds command-and-control units in civilian areas.

I am not going to comment on what I did or did not say back in the late '90s.

You don't make peace with your friends. That's the bottom line. You end conflicts by trying to find some political resolution.

Iran has basically propped up Assad, who has waged an absolute war of horror against the Syrian people. And he has done anything he could to stay in power with the full support of the Iranians and including Iranian troops and Hezbollah from Lebanon, which are an Iranian proxy.

Everyone can change.

With respect to Iraq, I did favour the continuity of American forces to work with the new Maliki government. They had enormous needs for intelligence, for training on everything from airplanes to more sophisticated ground equipment and the like.

When you have armed militants, aided and abetted by a major country like Russia, able to use surface-to-air missiles to bring down a commercial airline, that is a form of terrorism.

I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women.

When I chose to leave a career as a young lawyer in Washington to move to Arkansas to marry Bill and start a family, my friends asked, 'Are you out of your mind?'

We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life.

Hard men present hard choices - none more so than Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.

I've spent so many years commuting, I kind of prefer a home office.

You know, I think of the global economy as an inverted triangle, resting on the shoulders of the American consumer. And if the American consumer cannot have enough disposable income in order to maintain a standard of living that creates more opportunities generation after generation, that's bad for everybody.

I will read anything by Laura Hillenbrand, Walter Isaacson, Barbara Kingsolver, John le Carre, John Grisham, Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Anna Quindlen and Alice Walker.

When I traveled as secretary of state, I was deluged with thick briefing books full of information about the politics, economy, and culture of each destination, so those took up most of my reading time.

I thought making speeches for money was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company, as so many people who leave public life do.

My favorite short stories are by Alice Munro, especially her collections 'Carried Away' and 'Runaway.'

I've been in the hospital once when I had my daughter, and, oh, when I broke my elbow, but other than that, I've been very fortunate.

If you get so unequal that people believe they don't have a chance, that the field isn't level for them and their children, that puts democracy at risk.

Israel has a right to defend itself.

I have been working or attending school full time since I was 13.

When you're down on yourself, and when you are hunkering down and pulling back, you're not going to make any better decisions than when you were aggressively, belligerently putting yourself forward.

This is what we call smart power. Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions.

I never thought that the long haired, bearded guy I married in law school would end up being President.

There hasn't been anybody whose life has been picked apart and distorted as much as mine.

Look at climate change; don't put your head in the sand. Understand that it is going to have profound effects on our resources and so much else.

In nearly every religion I am aware of, there is a variation of the golden rule. And even for the non-religious, it is a tenet of people who believe in humanistic principles.

You know, one of the things my husband says when people say 'Well, what did you bring to Washington,' he said, 'Well, I brought arithmetic.'

The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.

People have to stop employing illegal immigrants.

I, for one, respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.

We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants.

There's a difference between fair game and playing games.

I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president.

I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigration.

It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.
