Distinguished International Leadership Award Atlantic Council - May 1, 2013
May 1, 2013
Thank you very much, Henry. That was incredibly generous. It means a great deal to me personally. Henry's been a very good friend and a very willing counselor over the course of my tenure as Secretary of State. He's also going to be celebrating a birthday this spring, so an early Happy Birthday. But he truly is such a remarkably astute and indefatigable presence in the world. He got up here and tried to pretend that when he goes places people talk to him about me. (Laughter) That was such […]

To God be the glory. Don’t ever forget that God had His hand on this campaign from the day we announced to the day we humbly accept this nomination. There are a whole lot of people that I need to thank. I am going to forget some of them tonight, but you all know that I love you so charge it to my head and not my heart.

Thank you. I just want to take a moment for some thank you’s. We absolutely have to do thank you’s first. To my family first, it is very important. My mom and dad who got me where I am today, thank you so much. To my brother and my sister, my sister who is one of my biggest cheerleaders.

1900 NAWSA Presidential Acceptance - Feb. 13, 1900
February 13, 1900
Good friends, I should hardly be human if I did not feel gratitude and appreciation for the confidence you have shown me; but I feel the honor of the position much less than its responsibility. I never was an aspirant for it. I consented only six weeks ago to stand. I was not willing to be the next president after Miss Anthony. I have known that there was a general loyalty to her which could not be given to any younger worker. Since Miss Anthony announced her intention to retire, […]
