I think Hillary Clinton is an outstandingly capable and decent person.

I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say it firmly: There is a tendency for the world to say to America, ‘the big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out,’ and then to worry when America wants to sort them out.

Our ultimate weapon is not our guns but our beliefs...The spread of freedom is the best security for the free. It is our last line of defense and our first line of attack.

At the heart of my politics has always been the value of community, the belief that we are not merely individuals struggling in isolation from each other, but members of a community who depend on each other, who benefit from each other's help, who owe obligations to each other. From that everything stems: solidarity, social justice, equality, freedom.

We are all internationalists now, whether we like it or not...

I have absolutely no doubt at all that we will find evidence of weapons of mass destruction programmes.

I'm afraid that's in the nature of modern politics - it's as much conducted by abuse as argument.
