Hillary Clinton

Now, I know there are many Americans who say, 'Get out of Afghanistan. Bring 'em all home.' And there are others who say, 'Put in hundreds of thousands of more.'

I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas.

This is a moment in history where it is almost hard to catch your breath.

Whether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.

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.

The nuclear arsenal that Pakistan has, I believe is secure. I think the government and the military have taken adequate steps to protect that.

One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals, out of government offices, into the media, into the streets of countries.

As I speak to you today, government censors somewhere are working furiously to erase my words from the records of history. But history itself has already condemned these tactics.

I've had extraordinary good luck with my health, other than a broken elbow.

We don't have enough support for maternal leave and the kinds of things that some of the European countries do. So we still make it hard on women to go into the work force and feel that they can be good at work but then doing the most important job, which is raising your children in a responsible and positive way.

Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.

We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel, and between the American and Israeli people. We share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world, and we are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean that we're going to agree.

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.

The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair.

Freedom means the right of people to assemble, organize, and debate openly.

Both the American people and nations that censor the internet should understand that our government is committed to helping promote internet freedom.

Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.

You feel sometimes when you hear analysts and knowledgeable people talking about Iran that they fear so much about the survival of the regime, because deep down it's not a legitimate regime, it doesn't represent the will of the people, it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy.

In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.
