Hillary Clinton
Quotations
The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making
what appears to be
impossible, possible.
In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should
forgive, and he said 70times 7. Well, I want you all to know that
I'm keeping a chart.
I have gone from a Barry Goldwater Republican to a New Democrat,
but I think my
underlying values have remained pretty constant; individual
responsibility and community.
I do not see those as being mutually inconsistent.
I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women.
I have never met
anyone who is pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is not being
pro-abortion. Being pro-choice
is trusting the individual to make the right decision for
herself and her family, and notentrusting that decision to anyone
wearing the authority of government in any regard.
Eleanor Roosevelt understood that every one of us every day has
choices to make about
the kind of person we are and what we wish to become. You can
decide to be someone
who brings people together, or you can fall prey to those who
wish to divide us. You can
be someone who educates yourself, or you can believe that being
negative is clever and
being cynical is fashionable. You have a choice.
When I am talking about "It Takes a Village", I'm obviously not
talking just about or evenprimarily about geographical villages any
longer, but about the network of relationships and
values that do connect us and binds us together.
No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for
a family's care. But at the
same time, government can either support or undermine families
as they cope with moral,
social and economic stresses of caring for children.
I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and
disagree with this
administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand
up and say we'reAmericans, and we have the right to debate and
disagree with any administration.
We are Americans, We have the right to participate and debate
any administration.
I will fight against the division politics of revenge and
retribution. If you put me to work for
you, I will work to lift people up, not put them down.
I am particularly horrified by the use of propaganda and the
manipulation of the truth and
the revision of history.
I hope we will come together as a nation and do whatever it
takes to keep guns away from
people who have no business with them.
