The false pride of perennial celebration, of wearing flag lapel pins while betraying the values that the flag stands for, is like the self-esteem curriculum for toddlers, where everything is praised and no achievement ultimately has meaning.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Over my lifetime, women have demonstrated repeatedly that they can do anything that men can do, while still managing traditional women's work at the same time. But the same expansion of roles has not been available to men.

Anne-Marie Slaughter
In foreign policy, even if you hold high office, you can't be sure what the effects will be of the things you do.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Believe it or not, we will actually be better and happier workers if we are allowed to be better parents. We might even rediscover our capacity for fun.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that “civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.” The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Patriotism demands the ability to feel shame as much as to feel pride.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
We should be proud of our country when we have done something to be proud of, when we have lived up to our own standards. But the flip side of genuine pride is being able to recognize when we have fallen short, and to hold ourselves to account.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am convinced that this country is ready to have a woman in the White House, but I also think there's still a lot of hidden sexism.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
If we're going to have better choices for women, we've got to have better choices for men.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I see much less of an ambition gap and much more of a workplace and society that isn't allowing us to use the talent that is multiplied well beyond this room ... There are millions of women out there who ... need more than, Honey, you can do it if you try hard enough.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Biological sex should not determine what we are capable of, what we aspire to, what we do in our life.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Our approach [to global security] has changed by the way we've elevated development. The biggest lesson is to recognize global responsibility.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
My husband has spent more time with our children than I have. I don't think they're better or worse off.
