More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
I'm a terrible long-term planner.
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
If you cannot allow people to do their jobs ... nobody with substance and creativity will work for you.
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 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
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
Self esteem comes from achievements. Not from lax standards and false praise.
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
We have had some bad incidents and there continue to be allegations of others which will be investigated but overwhelmingly American forces there, putting their lives on the line every day, protecting Iraqis, helping to liberate them, that is appreciated by the Iraqi people and by the Prime Minister.
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
I believe in having a private life.
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
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
We need to move beyond the idea that girls can be leaders and create the expectation that they should be leaders.
Condoleezza Rice
Hillary Clinton is somebody of great intelligence. She is somebody who really loves this country, who speaks forcefully and well for American interests and values.
Condoleezza Rice
I don't believe for a minute anybody allowed people to suffer because they are African Americans.
Condoleezza Rice
[My favorite dish to cook] is fried chicken, and by the way I'm good at it, too. I make really good fried chicken.
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
This is the democratic process at work, What you're seeing with this process is the Iraqi people embracing American-style democracy.
Condoleezza Rice
Well, of course, all of the statistics say there are fewer eligible black men in my circle. But I've never thought of it that way. I believe that if the right person came into my life that would have been terrific.
Condoleezza Rice
