More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
At no time did I intend to, or do I believe that I did put forward false information to the American people.
Condoleezza Rice
If the strong exploit the weak, democracy will not be stable.
Condoleezza Rice
In light of 50 years of bondage of Eastern Europe, [invading the Soviet Union in 1948 to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons] was probably a reasonable thing to do.
Condoleezza Rice
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
There's no doubt that it's still a dangerous place, Afghanistan. The fortunate thing is that the United States was helping to provide security for Chairman Karzai. And it shows that the United States is committed to that regime.
Condoleezza Rice
I use the word power broadly. Even more important than military and economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope.
Condoleezza Rice
The people of the Middle East share the desire for freedom. We have an opportunity - and an obligation - to help them turn this desire into reality.
Condoleezza Rice
Self esteem comes from achievements. Not from lax standards and false praise.
Condoleezza Rice
My job is to try to advance American foreign policy, to try to advance the president's agenda on democracy and human rights.
Condoleezza Rice
Most days are not overwhelmingly successful in your life. And what really marks whether you're going to be successful is how well you deal with the bad days, not how well you deal with the good ones.
Condoleezza Rice
Working very closely with the Department of Homeland Security to match up what is available with what is needed.
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
I believe our Presidents work hard and it's the loneliest job in the world.
Condoleezza Rice
As Americans we like to believe that we're loved in international politics or that people like what we're doing. But we also recognize that we have an extraordinary responsibility to do what we think is right, and that sometimes what we do is not very popular.
Condoleezza Rice
I don't think that anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile.
Condoleezza Rice
It takes courage to set priorities because doing so is an admission that American policy cannot be all things to all people - or rather to all interest groups
Condoleezza Rice
Oh, indeed there is a tie between Iraq and what happened on 9/11. It's not that Saddam Hussein was somehow himself and his regime involved in 9/11, but, if you think about what caused 9/11, it is the rise of ideologies of hatred that lead people to drive airplanes into buildings in New York.
Condoleezza Rice
No American president can support an Egypt that calls into question the historic treaty between Israel and Egypt. And no American president can support an Egypt that doesn't fully recognize women's rights or the rights of religious minorities.
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
We're in the middle of the transformation of a society that has handled its politics through repression to a society that will handle its politics through democratic institutions.
Condoleezza Rice
