We all know the story. But we usually focus on how it turned out - and not enough on how close that story came to never being written at all When representatives from 13 unruly colonies met just down the road. from here, some wanted to stick with the King. Some wanted to stick it to the king, and go their own way. The revolution hung in the balance. Then somehow they began listening to each other... compromising... finding a common purpose. the time they left Philadelphia, they had begun to see themselves as one nation.

It's hard to be a woman: you have to think like a man, act like a lady, look like a girl and work like a horse - this is the poster hanging in my house.

I am often asked how I feel about criticism addressed to me. I have three answers. First, if you decide to lead a public life, remember Eleanor Roosevelt's advice and grow thick skin like a rhinoceros. Second, learn to take criticism seriously, but not take it personally. Your critics can actually teach you things that your friends can't or won't teach you. I try to discern the motivation for criticism - be it partisan, ideological, commercial or sexist - and analyze what I can learn from it, while discarding everything else. Third, there is invariably a double standard applied to women in politics - this applies to clothing, body types and, of course, hairstyles. You shouldn't let him stop you. Smile and carry on.

Perhaps my worst trait is that I take very personally the things that I think are right.

It's what I call the "talking dog syndrome": Some people continue to be surprised by women (including governors' wives, corporate executives, sports stars, and rock singers) who can handle themselves under pressure, be knowledgeable, and have a clear stance. The dog can talk!

I think I could have stayed at home, baked cookies and made tea, but instead I decided to pursue my profession, which I took up even before my husband began to lead a public life.

Pursuing a career and pursuing your life are two different things.

Too many women in too many countries speak the same language - silence.

My marriage to Bill Clinton was the most consequential decision of my life. We have been married since 1975. We had many happy days - many more than sad or angry ones.

Everything that happens in America happens in New York.

There are few problems in the modern world that the United States can solve alone, and even fewer problems that can be solved without the United States. Everything I have done and seen has convinced me that America remains an “indispensable nation.” However, I am also convinced that our leadership is not a given. It must be earned with each new generation.

Donald Trump did not invent sexism, and his influence on our politics extends far beyond this election. It looks like a planet that astronomers haven't exactly discovered yet, but know it exists because they can see its effect on the orbits and gravity of other planets.
