The Hillary Clinton Guide To Being An Empowered Woman

03/04/2014 04:14 pm ET | Updated Jul 22, 2015


With inescapable murmurs about a possible 2016 presidential run, it seems like Hillary Clinton is everywhere. But seriously, the woman is actually everywhere — logging over 956,733 miles and visiting 112 nations during her three-year tenure as secretary of state.


To celebrate the boundary-breaking woman Clinton is, we’ve rounded up our favorite 21 quotes from Lisa Rogak’s “Hillary Clinton In Her Own Words”, a compilation of over 300 quotations from the former first lady, senator from New York and secretary of state. Rogak collected quotes from hundreds of speeches, countless interviews and decades of off-the-cuff remarks. If Hillary doesn’t already include “teacher” in her list of incarnations, she certainly should. Having a lifetime of sage wisdom concentrated in one place reminds us we can all take a page from Hillary’s book.


Here are 19 of our favorite Hillary Clinton quotes from Hillary Clinton In Her Own Words:


On self confidence:



1. “You have to be true to yourself. You have to be enough in touch with who you are and what you want, how you want to live and what’s important to you, to make your decisions based on that. Sometimes that’s very difficult.” — Marie Claire, October 18, 2012




On women’s roles on the global stage:



2. “I have always believed that women are not victims, we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace — all we need is a fighting chance.” — Speech, Women in the World Summit, April 5, 2013

This.

On the importance of women’s voices:



19. “There is no doubt in my mind that without the involvement of women in the economy, in politics, in peace-making, in every aspect of society, you can’t realize [a country’s] full potential.” — Marie Claire, October 18, 2012

This is the Hillary Group. You took a wrong turn, I believe you are looking for the BS Group.

Most importantly, Hill does not need coat tails. She will soar there on her own. She does not need a man to get her there. All she needs is her brain, sorry to inform you, women have functioning brains.
