Hillary Clinton World Quotations

It is a fact that around the world the elites of every country are making money.

I think the world would be a lot better off if more people were to define themselves in terms of their own standards and values and not what other people said or thought about them.

You know, my view is that we have a big world out there.

In this world and the world of tomorrow, we must go forward together or not at all.

In America, we trade more energy with our neighbors than we trade with the rest of the world combined. And I do want us to have an electric grid, an energy system that crosses borders. I think that would be a great benefit to us.

You cannot have development in today's world without partnering with the private sector.

Parenthood has the power to redefine every aspect of life - marriage, work, relationships with family and friends. Those helpless bundles of power and promise that come into our world show us our true selves- who we are, who we are not, who we wish we could be.

What we are learning around the world is that if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations do as well.

When I was secretary of state, I went around the world advocating for America, but also advocating for women's rights, to make sure that women had a decent chance to have a better life and negotiated a treaty with Russia to lower nuclear weapons. Four hundred pieces of legislation have my name on it as a sponsor or cosponsor when I was a senator for eight years.

We're living in a technological world. You cannot tell me we can't do a better job getting that information.

I'm going to keep speaking out about what Donald Trump says, because I'm getting messages from leaders around the world who are just bewildered. They want to know what's going on.

There are different views about what's good for our country, our economy, and our leadership in the world.

I think Americans have every reason to be worried about ISIS and the network of terrorist groups, because they have proven to be sophisticated and effective in wreaking violence and murder in many parts of the world, including in San Bernardino with their somehow connected radicalization of that couple there.

I care deeply about women's rights. I have been an outspoken advocate for them for many years and as secretary of state I carried that message around the world because empowering women, providing for women's rights, their full participation in society, politics, the economy is not only a matter of individuals being able to chart their own futures. It's good for democracy and it's good for peace and prosperity.

The cavalier casual way that Donald Trump talks about nuclear weapons is not only frightening but it goes counter to more than 70 years of bipartisan, presidential leadership of Republicans and Democrats who believed that we have to prevent other countries from getting nuclear weapons and we have to do what we can to decrease the number of nuclear weapons in the world.

The point is [Donald] Trump goes way too far. He then demonizes Muslims - American Muslims. He wants to ban all Muslims from everywhere in the world, including the new mayor of London who has spoken about this from coming to our country.

I know from my own experience that you've got to be ready on day one. There is just too much unpredictable threat and danger in the world today to try to just say wait, I'll get to that when I can. That is just not an acceptable approach.

We have to figure out how to deal with Iran as the principal state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

I think we've got to understand the complexity of the world that we are facing and no place is more so than in the Middle East.

I have no plans to say or do anything about The Clinton Foundation other than to say how proud I am of it and that I think for the good of the world, its work should continue.

It's true that America can't solve every problem, but I don't know of any major problem in the world that can be solved without us.

No nation can meet the world's challenges alone.

We spend trillions of dollars to travel around the world, but it's in everybody's interest that we have a better framework, and not just for the United States but for the entire world, in which to operate and trade.

I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts.

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.

Remember that movie Independence Day, where invaders were coming from outer space and the whole world was united against the invasion? Why can't we be united on behalf of our planet? And that's what I want to do.

Most of the movies about the future show aliens descending from outer space determined to blow up the world, and somehow they always begin or end with Washington D.C.

One of the things I have been preaching around the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner, especially from the elites.

Every day is a crossroads. Every day is a chance to change your life and our world for the better.

Women are the world's most underused resource.

While there are few problems in today's world that the United States can solve alone, there are even fewer that can be solved without the United States.

When we liberate the economic potential of women, we elevate the economic performance of communities, nations, and the world.

American values are not just about America, but they speak to the human dignity, the God-given spark that resides in each and every person across the world.

When women participate in politics, it ripples out to the entire society ... Women are the world's most underused resource.

We're working with NATO, the longest military alliance in the history of the world, to really turn our attention to terrorism.

That is the number-one threat we face in the world. And it becomes particularly threatening if terrorists ever get their hands on any nuclear material. So a man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes, as far as I think anyone with any sense about this should be concerned.

We cannot let those who would try to destabilize the world to interfere with American interests and security.

I think that when we talk about the regulators and the politicians, the economic consequences of bad decisions back in '08, you know, were devastating, and they had repercussions throughout the world.

The United States compared to a number of our competitors is the only government in the world with any kind of safeguards, any kind of checks and balances. They may in many respects need to be strengthened and people need to be reassured, and they need to have their protections embodied in law.

The United States has kept the peace through our alliances. Donald Trump wants to tear up our alliances. I think it makes the world safer and, frankly, it makes the United States safer. I would work with our allies in Asia, in Europe, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. That's the only way we're going to be able to keep the peace.

Are we going to lead the world with strength and in accordance with our values? That's what I intend to do.

Climate change is such a consequential crisis to everybody in the world.

And as secretary of state, I fought hard for American businesses to get a fair shot around the world and to stop underhanded trading practices like currency manipulation and the theft of intellectual property.

We got an international coalition [against Iran], and we imposed that. It was slow, patient diplomacy, nothing at all particularly headline-worthy. But then you got to the point where the negotiations - which I started and Secretary [John] Kerry completed - I think made the world safer.

[Donald Trump] said some very ill-considered, dangerous thing, and it's around the world in a nanosecond.
