More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
Differences can be a strength.
Condoleezza Rice
There was no silver bullet that could have prevented the 11 September attacks. There was nothing demonstrating or showing that something was coming in the United States. If there had been something, we would have acted on it.
Condoleezza Rice
I'm a great believer in the fact that as you get to know someone, it matters not what religious background they have, or what their nationality is, or where they came from. And I think that's how Americans really do relate to each other on a personal level.
Condoleezza Rice
I have several [favorite clothes designers], but I like to wear Akris, Oscar De La Renta and Giorgio Armani.

I have no doubt that as the Iraqi security forces get better, and they are getting better and they are holding territory and they are doing these things with minimal help, that we are going to be able to bring down the levels of our forces. And I have no doubt that that's going to happen in a reasonable time frame.
Condoleezza Rice
I've always said that I expected to grow up and get married like any nice southern girl, but the fact is you don't get married in the abstract. You find someone that you'd like to be married to.

You might not be able to control your circumstances but you can control your response to your circumstances.
Condoleezza Rice
I never much cared for politics. I love policy, and I love international policy in particular. I got to be Secretary of State it really doesn't get much better than that. I love what I do. I love being a professor.
Condoleezza Rice
Ultimately, we didn't go to Germany to create a democracy. We went to overthrow Adolf Hitler. But once a democracy was there, Germany was a much bigger supporter of and help to our national interests, both economic and security than had ever been before.
Condoleezza Rice
I don't believe for a minute anybody allowed people to suffer because they are African Americans.
Condoleezza Rice
I play a lot chamber music.As for something that's hard for me to play, before I leave this Earth I'm hoping to play Brahms' Second Piano Concerto.
Condoleezza Rice
I didn't run for student council president. I don't see myself in any way in elected office. I love policy. I'm not particularly fond of politics.
Condoleezza Rice
We're not going to negotiate about the terms of terrorism. You don't negotiate about terrorism. It's is wrong to engage in terrorism, and there isn't anything to negotiate.
Condoleezza Rice
It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.
Condoleezza Rice
There is nothing better than being in a classroom with really, really brilliant students, and opening up new worlds to them. That's what I love doing.
Condoleezza Rice
Today's headlines and history's judgement are not the same.
Condoleezza Rice
We have our differences with Russia. And some of those differences produce conflict. But by no means is this the Soviet Union. We have far more areas of cooperation with Russia than we have areas of conflict.
Condoleezza Rice
The political face of Europe is one that has said very clearly that it wants cooperation and friendship with the United States.
Condoleezza Rice
