If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.

Saddam's goal is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.

What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.

No matter how hard we might wish, we will not be able to transform China's behavior overnight.

I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.

I didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere, because, especially in national security and international affairs, it's male-dominated.

And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the 'my way or the highway' approach that was evident in the previous eight years.

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

I loved what I did. I could've been secretary of state for ever.

I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.

I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.

Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn't mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten high school.

Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.

What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.

I have always thought of myself as a Czechoslovak Catholic.

My parents were of the generation who thought they were the children of a free Czechoslovakia, the only democracy in central Europe.

I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life.

I think I've revived the costume-jewelry industry.

I am often asked if, when I was secretary, I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with, because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

It's important that we invest in America - literally. The terrorists wanted to destroy our economy, and we can't let our system fall apart. We also have to invest in one another.

As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world - but it doesn't happen twice.

For me, being raised in a free America made all the difference.

I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.

To be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.

The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.

I have always seen the United States as a force of good. And I have learned that there is the idealistic part about what we can do at the U.N. and there is a doable part. And I have learned what is more doable.

Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.

Really, I have to laugh because there was a whole set of stories that made me sound like the Dragon Lady, you know, 'tough this and tough that.' Then there is this business about 'gooey.' The bottom line is I am a pragmatic idealist.

I also think it is important for women to help one another. I have a saying: There is a special place in hell for women who don't.

I wasn't a normal professor. I had worked in government. I hadn't written nine zillion books. I was a hands-on professor.

I am such a political person.

I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe you earn them.

I saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.

The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances; that was and is our common purpose.

There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.

There is aspecial place in hell for women who do not help other womem

History would be far different if we did not tend to hear God most clearly when we think He is telling us exactly what it is we want to hear

The more extreme advocates from one side helped to validate the arguments of extremists on the other

When Hillary was First Lady, we went to the Beijing Women's Conference. She courageously stood up and spoke out on behalf of human rights and women's rights, inspiring millions to fight for a better future.

And frankly, I don't understand - I mean, I'm obviously a card-carrying Democrat - but I can't understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney.

Disgusting Serbs, get out!

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

I laugh at myself. I don't take myself completely seriously. I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to... you have to laugh, especially at yourself.

Sick and perverted always appeals to me.

A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.
