I have a lot to say about Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton that has not been said by others recently and that I think needs to be said. I mean I've known her for 40 years. I worked with her, I know her well professionally. I know her well personally. I know her to be a person of high moral character. A reliable person and an honest person, however Mr. [Donald] Trump may rant and rave to the contrary. So I'm happy to say that. People can make their own choices.

In the nineteenth century, slavery was the greatest wrong, and government never stood so tall as when it was redressing that wrong.

I see a big difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate.

I think it would be a threat [Donald's Trump presidency] to the conduct of our foreign policy and our position in the world at large.

I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr.[DonALD] Trump should be elected. I think it's a candidacy without any parallel that I can recall.

It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.

[Donald Trump] just would not be in his element and I think he would wobble off course and I think the country just can't have that.
