We do need women in civic life. We do need women to run for office, to be in political office. We need a feminist to be at the table when decisions are being made so that the right decisions will be made.

It is our future on the line, and we must at least have a say in it.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another.

Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we’ve got more strength than we think we do.

There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.

I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God’s creation, woman, the object of our lust.

I want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

We can’t afford not to educate girls and give women the power and the access that they need.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong, unless proved otherwise.

At the end of the day, women are a distraction. Whether you realize it or not.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

Quitting is the easiest thing to do.

I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it’s necessary.

Finality is not the language of politics.

Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.

I’ve noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it’s far enough in the future.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

To compromise simply means that you go a tiny bit below what you know is right.

Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn’t any good reason to refer to it.

If you don’t like what you’re doing, then don’t do it.

Black men don’t like to be called ‚boys,‘ but women accept being called ‚girls.‘

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

Women have to be active listeners and interrupters – but when you interrupt, you have to know what you are talking about.

I don’t really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottage princes‘ palaces.

I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

Those who cry out that the government should ‚do something‘ never even ask for data on what has actually happened when the government did something, compared to what actually happened when the government did nothing.

I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

I advocate that every woman be a part of a circle, and a circle that meets at least once a month, or if you can’t do that, once every two months or every four months.

The risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life’s greatest paradox.

Time is compressed like the fist I close on my knee… I hold inside it the clues and solutions and the power for what I must do now.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

What we know is that when girls don’t go to school, they earn lower salaries. They get married earlier. They have higher infant and maternal mortality rates. And they’re more likely to contract HIV, less likely to immunize their children.

I owe nothing to Women’s Lib.

I just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.

Entrepreneurs are natural problem-solvers, which means that we always have ideas for new businesses popping into our heads. Having a lot of options is great, but sometimes it can be hard to focus on one when you are keen to move onto the next.

Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?

Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no one single decision can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good.

Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.

As I have done in every election since I started voting so many years ago, I always like to take my time and examine the two candidates, see not only the two candidates but the policies they will bring in, the people they will bring in, who they might appoint to the Supreme Court, and look at the whole range of issues before making a decision.

In doubtful cases the more liberal interpretation must always be preferred.

Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn’t try and be copying men and be masculine; they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.

The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one’s self to destiny.

If you’re a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.

In crises the most daring course is often safest.

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.

I am always wary of decisions made hastily. I am always wary of the first decision, that is, the first thing that comes to my mind if I have to make a decision. This is usually the wrong thing. I have to wait and assess, looking deep into myself, taking the necessary time.

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.

At the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.

If you want to be a good strategist, you can never just go off a principle you read in a book. You need to adapt what you do to the situation; no rule of thumb is true all the time.
