A historic investment in jobs, debt-free college, profit sharing, making those at the top pay their fair share, putting families first in a modern economy and a democracy where working people's voices are actually heard. That is what we are fighting for in this election.		811
Now there is a new request. To release transcripts of speeches that were given. When everybody agrees to do that, I will as well. It is important we all abide by the same standards. So let's do the tax return standard first, because that has been the standard for a long time.		812
America is stronger because of President Obama's leadership, and I'm better because of his friendship.	Friendship, Leadership	813
Twenty years ago, I wrote a book called 'It Takes a Village.' And a lot of people looked at the title and asked, 'What the heck do you mean by that?' This is what I mean. None of us can raise a family, build a business, heal a community or lift a country totally alone.		814

You cannot have development in today's world without partnering with the private sector.		910
I'm one of those people who thinks that changing one's hair is the only part of the body that you can change at will.		911
I wish I were taller and thinner but the hair you can do something about.		912
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.		913
To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.		914
I don't think about a legacy; I think about my life, because I've had quite an unpredictable life.		915
My father was a small-businessman, and if he didn't get up and go to work, there would be no business.		916
Countries that will not tax their elite who expect us to come in and help them serve their people are just not going to get the kind of help from us that historically they may have.		917
I think that we have to be constantly asking ourselves, 'How do we calculate the risk?' And sometimes we don't calculate it correctly; we either overstate it or understate it.		918
Dynamism is a function of change.		919
I sometimes think that I didn't leave the Republican Party, as much as it left me.		920
Now I know that Wal-Mart's policies do not reflect the best way of doing business and the values that I think are important in America.		921
I've always been intrigued by the Senate, and admired many of the people who have served there.		922
There is a hunger for the United States to be present again.		923
No nation can meet the world's challenges alone.		924
This is a moment in history where it is almost hard to catch your breath.		925
When an army unit returns from service in Iraq or Afghanistan, it barely gets a breather before it begins training for its next deployment.		926
My father was raised with brothers, he was a football player and a boxer, he was a chief petty officer in the Navy, he was a man of his times.		1001
I'm one of these very focused people when it comes to day-to-day work, and I'm trying not to think about what comes next so that I can stay very focused on what I'm doing now.		1002
I've been really at the highest levels of American political life.		1003
In every country today, there is politics. It may be authoritarian politics, but there is politics.		1004
I have won elections and I have lost elections.		1005
I feel like every day, every minute I have to make the most of.		1006
I love New York.		1007
I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean, you know, for people on the outside, the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important, serious, even glamorous kind of thing to do.		1008
I certainly don't read coverage of me, I read what else is going on that I need to know about to do my job.		1009
When you're the presidential nominee you get to pick whomever you choose to be on the ticket, and that person gets to say yes or no because, obviously, it's a very important decision.		1010
Egypt has been a partner of the United States over the last 30 years, has been instrumental in keeping the peace in the Middle East between Egypt and Israel, which is a critical accomplishment that has meant so much to so many people.		1011
What I found when I became Secretary of State was a lot of doubts and a lot of concerns and fears from friends, allies, around the world.		1012
I drink tons of water. Just as much water as I can possibly drink.		1013
You know no one will ever accuse me as having the same policies as George W. Bush.		1014
Part of diplomacy is to open different definitions of self-interest.		1015
A nuclear-weapons armed Iran is not in anyone's human-rights interests. That is a direct threat to the lives and the livelihoods and the stability not only of the region but beyond.		1016
I meet with people all day long.		1017
It is very clear that the people in Afghanistan do not want the Taliban back.		1018
Europe is a miracle.		1019
I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts.		1020
Well, I think both Russia and China have a very strong aversion to interference in internal affairs.		1021
I was in civil society long before I was ever in politics or my husband was ever even elected president.		1022
China is starting an English-speaking television network around the world, Russia is, Al Jazeera. And the BBC is cutting back on its many language services around the world.		1023
A psychologist once told me that for a boy being in the middle of a conflict between two women is the worst possible situation. There's always a desire to please each one.		1024
You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don't they?		1025
The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.		1026
There hasn't been anybody whose life has been picked apart and distorted as much as mine.		1101
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.'		1102
Cooking, decorating, diet/self-help and gardening books are guilty pleasures and useful time fillers.	Gardening	1103
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.		1104
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.	Intelligence	1105
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.		1106
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.'		1107
I helped to restore America's leadership.	Leadership	1108
Putin is playing the long game. He has a strategic plan in mind: the Eurasian Union, which would be in competition to Europe.		1109
George W. Bush is very popular in Sub-Saharan Africa. Why? Because of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief.		1110
I think every election is sui generis. I think it starts with where we are in the country at this time, with what Americans are thinking, feeling and hoping, and it proceeds from there. And it is always about the future.		1111
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.'		1112
My biggest, you know, regret is what happened in Benghazi. It was a terrible tragedy losing four Americans - two diplomats and, now it's public so I can say, two CIA operatives.		1113
When I negotiated the ceasefire in Gaza with President Morsi, he was, you know, very involved.		1114
One of the biggest problems that Egypt faces is the lack of border security - the importation of weapons on their way to Gaza, for example, coming out of Sudan.		1115
I really get up every day and try to deal with the problems that are in front of me, and I don't really worry about history. That will work itself out over time.		1116
I'm somebody who gets up every day and says, 'What am I going to do today, and how am I going to do it?' I think it moves me toward some outcome I'm hoping for and also has some, you know, some joy attached to it.		1117
One of the great things about my mother is she really valued people's character more than what they did.		1118
I wish I had some stock in a scrunchie company.		1119
I won the youth vote in Massachusetts and in California. I did very well with it in Ohio.		1120
The safe haven that al-Qaida has found in Pakistan is very troubling.		1121
Children today will grow up taking for granted that an African-American or a woman can, yes, become the president of the United States.		1122
We can't go to people who have lost their job at GM and say, 'Oh, by the way, we are going to pay money to build a road here or inoculate children there,' unless we can demonstrate that it is in America's interest. I happen to think it is.		1123
I have absolutely no interest in running for president again. None. None. I mean, I know that's hard for some people to believe, but, you know, I just don't.		1124
I feel like I have had the most amazing life in my public service.		1125
In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.		1126
I take vitamins.		1201
Democracies have to be careful that they do not become so process-driven.		1202
Oh, I've never been asked a silly question in my entire life.		1203
I don't ask anyone else to live my life. I have enough trouble doing that.		1204
Well, human security is a concept that I am very committed to enshrining in American foreign policy.		1205
India has reduced its dependence on Iranian oil. I know their refineries have stopped asking for orders to purchase Iranian oil.		1206
Sometimes overturning brutal regimes takes time and costs lives. I wish it weren't so. I really, really do.		1207
Everybody has some dysfunction in their families.		1208
Several people have told me that one of the most meaningful events they could attend would be something at the White House with their children.		1209
I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York.		1210
I never thought that the long haired, bearded guy I married in law school would end up being President.		1211
I have been working or attending school full time since I was 13.		1212
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.		1213
My favorite short stories are by Alice Munro, especially her collections 'Carried Away' and 'Runaway.'		1214
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.		1215
When it comes to the Middle East, this is always a very difficult issue for any American president.		1216
I respect the Congress's oversight responsibility.		1217
Remember, the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, have a working relationship with the Palestinian Authority security forces, which have been incredibly professional.		1218
There is no part of the world that is irrelevant to the United States anymore.		1219
I don't think it's at all weakening of the system if people with the same last name put themselves forward to the electorate, when their experiences, their character, and in my case, gender, may be different.		1220
I have known several presidents quite well, including my husband, and I worked closely with President George W. Bush and the White House then after 9/11, and I served with President Obama. I disagree with all three of those presidents on certain things.		1221
I had a family that supported me.		1222
Remember, before they called it Obamacare, they called it Hillarycare.		1223
I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York, and I went to Wall Street in December of 2007 - before the big crash that we had - I basically said, 'Cut it out! Quit foreclosing on homes! Quit engaging in these kinds of speculative behaviors.'		1224
You can look at what I did in the Senate. I did introduce legislation to rein in compensation. I looked at ways that the shareholders would have more control over what was going on in that arena. And specifically said to Wall Street, that what they were doing in the mortgage market was bringing our country down.		1225
Most importantly I never sent classified material on my email and I never received any that was marked classified.		1226
I had a personal email when I was in the Senate, as the vast majority of senators do. It was very convenient. I did all of my business on personal emails.		1301
And I will repeat today what I have said throughout this campaign. I will not raise taxes on the middle class. I will give you tax relief to help ease these burdens.		1302
And I believe we should strengthen unions which have formed the bedrock of a strong middle class. It should be easier to bargain collectively. That's not only fair, it makes workers more productive, it strengthens our economy.		1303
But I can tell you another engine for growth and job creation would be comprehensive immigration reform.		1304
I still passionately support comprehensive immigration reform legislation with a path to full and equal citizenship.		1305
Well, I will be a president for Democrats, Republicans and independents, for the struggling, the striving, the successful, for all those who vote for me and for those who don't. For all Americans together.		1306
Tonight, tonight we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president. Standing here, standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come.		1307
Now, I don't think President Obama and Vice President Biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. Our economy is so much stronger than when they took office.		1308
My primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States. From my first day in office to my last, especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind.		1309
I believe America thrives when the middle class thrives.		1310
I believe climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good-paying clean energy jobs.		1311
And I want to thank Bernie Sanders. Bernie, your campaign inspired millions of Americans, particularly the young people who threw their hearts and souls into our primary. You've put economic and social justice issues front and center, where they belong.		1312
Our country's motto is e pluribus unum: out of many, we are one. Will we stay true to that motto?		1313
I have to tell you, as your Secretary of State, I went to 112 countries, and when people hear those words, they hear America. So don't let anyone tell you that our country is weak. We're not. Don't let anyone tell you we don't have what it takes. We do.		1314
The truth is, through all these years of public service, the 'service' part has always come easier to me than the 'public' part.		1315
