Hilary Clinton Biography

"I am not going to be some Tammy Wynette ‘Stand By Your Man’" - Clinton’s response in an interview about her husband’s infidelity.

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

[Interview on "Today" (1952), 1998] "There is a story out there, for those who care to report it, and that is the vast, right-wing conspiracy that's been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for President."

“I believe that presidential pardon authority is available to any president, and almost all presidents have exercised it.

“I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it's nice to be home again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington D.C. most of the time, actually, but if I'm not there I'm in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home.”

“Some people think elections are a game: who's up or who's down. It's about our country. It's about our kids' future. It's about all of us together. Some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some difficult odds. We do it, each one of us, against difficult odds. We do it because we care about our country. Some of us are right, and some of us are not. Some of us are ready, and some of us are not. Some of us know what we will do on day one, and some of us haven't thought that through.”
