मैं वास्तव में कोई दलीय राजनीति करने वाली इंसान नहीं हूँ। मुझे याद है जब मैं वाशिंगटन में थी, तो वे बार-बार मुझसे यह कहलवाने की कोशिश करते थे कि मैं रिपब्लिकन हूँ या डेमोक्रेट। मैंने बस इतना कहा, मेरी राजनीति तो बच्चे हैं। इसके अलावा मैं कुछ नहीं जानती।
I'm really not a partisan political person. I remember when I was in Washington they kept trying to get me to say whether I was a Republican or a Democrat. I just said, my politics are children. That's all I know anything about.

क्वालिटी डे केयर (दिवस देखभाल केंद्र) की सबसे बड़ी पहचान यह है कि बच्चा वहाँ जाना चाहता है, और घर वापस नहीं आना चाहता।
The best indicator of quality day care is the kid wants to go there, and doesn't want to go home.

किसी बच्चे की भावनाएं और उसका व्यक्तित्व भी उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है जितना कि उसका बुद्धि-लब्धि (I.Q.)।
A kid's emotions and personality are just as important as I.Q.

इसलिए जीवन में किसी के बुद्धिमत्ता स्कोर से कहीं बढ़कर बहुत कुछ है। एक अच्छा इंसान बनना। कुछ चरित्र होना।
So there's much more to life than one's intelligence score. To be a decent human being. To have some character.

यह पर्यावरण भी है जो बच्चों के विकास और वृद्धि का एक बड़ा हिस्सा तय करता है।
It's also the environment that determines a considerable part of the growth and development of children.

हमें चाइल्ड केयर में बच्चों को नुकसान पहुँचाना बंद करना होगा। मैं इसे रोकने की कोशिश कर रही हूँ। इसके अलावा मुझे और कुछ नहीं सूझता कि मैं क्या करूँ।
We have to stop harming children in child care. I'm trying to make us stop. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.

आप जो जीत सकते हैं, जब जीत सकते हैं, तब जीतिए और लगातार आगे बढ़ते रहिए। और इस खेल को इसी तरह खेला जाता है। और मैं इसे तब तक खेलती रहूँगी जब तक मैं खेल सकती हूँ।
You win what you can win when you can win it, and keep pushing - all the time. And that's how this game is played. And I'll play it till I can't play it anymore.

बच्चों को गरीबी से बाहर निकालिए। गरीबी बहुत विनाशकारी होती है।
Get kids out of poverty. Poverty is devastating.

चाइल्ड केयर की समस्या, जिस पर हम सभी को गंभीरता से विचार करना होगा, यह है कि शून्य से तीन वर्ष की आयु के बच्चों के लिए हमारे पास कोई भी वाकई बेहतरीन समाधान नहीं है।
The problem in child care, which really all of us are going to have to think hard on, is that there is no really great solution that we can come up with for ages zero to three.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि किसी का तापमान बार-बार मापने से वह ठीक हो जाएगा।
I don't think if you take somebody's temperature a lot that will make them well.

मैं बच्चों का अध्ययन करती हूँ, और वे मेरे अध्ययन के विषय हैं। वे वास्तव में मेरे सहकर्मी हैं, ये सारे छोटे-छोटे बच्चे। और मैं उनकी ऋणी हूँ।
I study children, and they're my subjects in my studies. They're my colleagues, really, all these little kids. And I owe them.

मैं ग्रेजुएशन के छात्रों को बाल विकास और सामाजिक नीति पढ़ाती हूँ, और अपने छात्रों से कहती हूँ, "सुनो, इनमें से किसी भी मुद्दे पर, अगर तुम तीस साल तक काम नहीं करना चाहते, तो इसकी शुरुआत ही मत करो।"
I teach child development and social policy as an undergraduate course, and I tell my students, "Look, on any of these issues, if you don't want to work on it for thirty years, don't start."

हम सभी ऐसे उच्च-बुद्धि वाले लोगों को जानते हैं जिनके साथ हम एक कमरे में भी नहीं रहना चाहते।
All of us know high-I.Q. people with whom we don't want to be in the same room.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि कुछ भी अच्छा हो रहा है। मुझे लगता है कि हम इसकी कीमत चुका रहे हैं। मुझे लगता है कि जहाँ कुल मिलाकर अपराध कम हो रहे हैं, वहीं युवाओं के अपराध बढ़ रहे हैं। मुझे लगता है कि युवाओं की मानसिक स्वास्थ्य संबंधी समस्याएं बढ़ रही हैं। आप इसके कारण और परिणाम का सीधा संबंध नहीं दिखा सकते। यह साबित करना एक कठिन काम है।
I don't think anything good is happening. I think we're paying the price for it. I think while crime in general is going down, youth crime is going up. I think mental health problems of the youth are going up. You can't show causality. It's a hard stretch.

ज़्यादातर माता-पिता अपने बच्चे के लिए कोई चाइल्ड केयर सेंटर ढूंढने से कहीं अधिक समय एक टीवी सेट खरीदने में लगा देते हैं।
Most mothers and fathers will shop more for a TV set than they will for a child care center for their child.

मैं स्कूलों की सारी समस्याओं को जानती हूँ। वे रूढ़िवादी हैं, नौकरशाही से जकड़े हैं, उनमें ढेरों समस्याएं हैं। लेकिन यह एक ऐसा महत्वपूर्ण संस्थान है, और इससे इतनी उम्मीदें जुड़ी हैं।
I know all the problems of the schools. They're rigid, they're bureaucratic, they've got a lot of problems. But it's such an important institution, and holds such promise.

मुझे लगता था कि रूढ़िवादी (कंजर्वेटिव) होने का पूरा मतलब सरकार को लोगों के जीवन में दखल देने से रोकना था। और फिर भी वे कहते हैं कि सरकार को लोगों के परिवारों में दखल देना चाहिए। जहाँ से मैं आती हूँ, वहाँ यह मामलों में बहुत ज़्यादा दखल देना है।
I thought the whole idea of being a conservative was to keep the government from messing around in people's lives. And yet they say the government should be getting into people's families. That's messing pretty heavily where I come from.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि चाइल्ड केयर कभी कोई बहुत बड़ा संघीय (फेडरल) प्रयास बन पाएगा। बिल्कुल शिक्षा की तरह। छह या सात प्रतिशत - सरकार से मुझे बस इतना ही चाहिए। गरीब या विकास संबंधी अक्षमताओं वाले बच्चों के लिए उस हिस्से का भुगतान कर दीजिए।
I don't think child care is ever going to be much of a federal effort. Just like education. Six or 7 percent - that's all I want from the government. Pay that piece of it for poor or developmentally disabled children.

सच कहें तो, जब अर्थव्यवस्था मजबूत होती है, तो बच्चों का जीवन भी बेहतर होता है। अच्छी नौकरियाँ बच्चों के लिए बेहतरीन भविष्य लेकर आती हैं।
Kids do better, frankly [when the economy is strong]. Jobs make great years for kids.

मुझे लगता है कि अगर आप भगवान का काम कर रहे हैं, तो आप जो कुछ भी करते हैं, वह उन्हीं के नाम पर होता है।
