Danh ngôn của Jacinda Ardern (Sứ mệnh: 3)

There's probably a tendency to view power... to be either based on size or the size and power of your economy. I think New Zealand's strength has always been using our voice on the issues that matter, and we've been consistent on it. There is power in that.
Ultimately, I do want us to be a transformative government. I want, when we've left, for people to say we're not just clean-green anymore: we're carbon neutral, or we're striving to be.
I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you're constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind.
I hate the idea of anyone thinking that I don't put a lot of thought about the cost to taxpayers. I make our ministers travel to events in vans to pool together.
I might be at the odd press conference with a little bit of spill on me because I'm not going to hide the imperfections of parenting. I don't think anyone needs that.
The teacher crisis is something we are really worried about during the byelection in Mount Albert. I counted, across a month, seven teachers I identified just in my area who were all leaving - not the profession but Auckland.
I definitely try not to get too caught up in putting too much of a gender or age assessment on everything - I've just got to get on with it.
I don't think that the next generation should fear just being who they are rather than confirming to an expectation of what they are meant to be.
Taking on a leadership role doesn't mean that you only have to be personally ambitious.
Probably being in politics is the worst place for me to be.
Everyone knows that I have just accepted, with short notice, the worst job in politics.
I worked as long in a fish and chip shop as I did in Parliament. I've had particular experiences in politics, but they're not my only ones, and they're not the ones that defined me.
How great it would be for us all to have the pride of knowing that we, as a country, are one of the best countries to be a child.
When I came into politics, I remember reading these scorecards of my performance, and I would routinely have these comments about not being assertive enough.
