More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
Separation of powers is a problem for foreign policy.
Condoleezza Rice
You can never ask others to do something you would not do. That is integrity.
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
We need a common enemy to unite us.
Condoleezza Rice
I'm a terrible long-term planner.
Condoleezza Rice
I laugh almost everyday. I have a good sense of humor, so I'm always finding something funny.
Condoleezza Rice
It is high time that the international community tell Saddam Hussein and his regime that this is not an issue of negotiation with the U.N. about obligations that they undertook in 1991.
Condoleezza Rice
I've never really been a workaholic.
Condoleezza Rice
Working very closely with the Department of Homeland Security to match up what is available with what is needed.
Condoleezza Rice
Iran can and should be a responsible state, not the leading state sponsor of terror.
Condoleezza Rice
When I went off to college, I was expecting to be a concert musician. In music school I heard all of these kids who were just unbelievable. And I understand that you can be very, very good, but there's something that separates very, very good from great, and I knew that I wasn't great.
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
Well, there's been plenty of ultimatums, and one thing that we better be very clear is that we can't continue to have the kind of defiance of the United Nations, the defiance of the international community that we've had.
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
Your passion may be hard to spot, so keep an open mind and keep searching.
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
There are some places that have had real quarrels with the United States' policies, but I think the country is very well-respected worldwide.
Condoleezza Rice
But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let's remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt.
Condoleezza Rice
I remember classes in college where the professor was espousing certain theories about how blacks were inherently less intelligent. But I learned a long time ago to give people the benefit of the doubt, not to assume that somebody was reacting to you because of race.
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
