I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

Democracy cannot be built on revenge and you will not have the support of the world if you are intolerant and take the law into your own hands,

I saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.

I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard.

We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.
