More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
What we will not wait for is that particular nexus of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction that is extremism, and the technology to come together in a way that is harmful to the United States.
Condoleezza Rice
Every good leader is part manager and every good manager is part leader.
Condoleezza Rice
When diplomacy has been exhausted, the Security Council must become involved. Questions about Iran's nuclear activities remain unanswered, despite repeated efforts by the IAEA.
Condoleezza Rice
I'm very proud that we stood for the proposition that no man, woman or child should ever have to live in tyranny. We believed in democracy and promoted it.
Condoleezza Rice
We've got to get back to a sense of an American identity, and that identity is not nationality or religion or ethnicity. It is a particular idea, and that idea is that you should live in liberty and you should be able to pursue happiness.
Condoleezza Rice
We still go out and elect people who we think are going to govern and better our interests. So we may not have the same confidence in the people we elect, but we still go out and elect them.
Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice
America cannot do most of what needs to be done alone. You need friends. And we have good friends around the world. We have friends with whom we share values in Europe and Asia - thanks to the forward march of democracy - in Latin America, in Africa, and increasingly in the Middle East.
Condoleezza Rice
Education is of no value and talent is worthless - unless you have an unwavering aim. Never find yourself without a compass.
Condoleezza Rice
Today's headlines and history's judgement are not the same.
Condoleezza Rice
Race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident,real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counterproductive.
Condoleezza Rice
You do have to keep in mind as you're going through extraordinarily difficult circumstances, that if you stay true, true to your values, if you stay true to your principles, if you believe in these values, then you can work in that context to right policies that may not be working.
Condoleezza Rice
We need to move beyond the idea that girls can be leaders and create the expectation that they should be leaders.
Condoleezza Rice
It's so much a part of me that it's almost hard to describe myself in the absence of [faith].
Condoleezza Rice
The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer - we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them - we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom.
Condoleezza Rice
