More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
Differences can be a strength.
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
You might not be able to control your circumstances but you can control your response to your circumstances.
Condoleezza Rice
I think the word of the United States has been as good as gold in its international dealings and its agreements.
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
But, clearly, the prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands. The current circumstances come out of what I think is a very important and indeed appropriate action that the Iraqi government has taken.
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
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
Race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident,real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counterproductive.
Condoleezza Rice
Everyone wants Russia to be a prosperous, democratic state that is fully integrated.
Condoleezza Rice
I never found anybody I wanted to spend my life with. People say, Didn't you want to get married? Well, sure, but it's not abstract, there has to be someone you want to marry. I'm pretty traditional. Marriage would have to come first, before kids.
Condoleezza Rice
I think that the United States has always been most effective when it is leading both from power and principle.
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
Iran can and should be a responsible state, not the leading state sponsor of terror.
Condoleezza Rice
I think it's very humble to believe that there is no man, woman or child who should live in tyranny. That people who say, well, maybe Arabs just aren't ready for democracy or maybe Africans just are going to have corrupt governments, that seems to me arrogant.
Condoleezza Rice
For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region, here in the Middle East, and we achieved neither.
Condoleezza Rice
To see an African-American elected president means that this country is really finally coming full circle from the birth defect of slavery.
Condoleezza Rice
You know, I look at Vladimir Putin as somebody who is an eye-for-an-eye kind of person. We questioned the legitimacy of his election in 2012, Secretary Clinton did - rightly, by the way. It did have - it was quite fraudulent.And so I think he's saying now, I'm going to show you that I can do the same thing.
Condoleezza Rice
Multilateral diplomacy is hard. It's slower, it's tougher, it's a bigger slog. I've learned that sometimes the things you'd most like to do something about, you really have difficulty unless the international community really mobilizes.
Condoleezza Rice
First, I wanted to answer the question I'm most frequently asked: How did you become who you are? Well, you had to know John and Angelena Rice.
