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?'
When I became secretary of state, I felt one of my primary jobs was building relationships around the world.
There is no part of the world that is irrelevant to the United States anymore.
To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.
You don't make peace with your friends. That's the bottom line. You end conflicts by trying to find some political resolution.
Americans deserve to feel secure in their own lives, in their own middle-class aspirations, before you go to them and say, 'We're going to have to enforce navigable sea lanes in the South China Sea.'
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.
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?'
Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace - all we need is a fighting chance.
I want to work with my husband and my daughter on our mutual foundation interests.
Good grief, we're getting offended by everything these days! People can't say anything without offending somebody.
Remember, before they called it Obamacare, they called it Hillarycare.
Hamas, we know, embeds missiles, embeds command-and-control units in civilian areas.
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.
