More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
I'm happy and content in my life, and I chalk that up to wonderful parents and a wonderful God.
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
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
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 believe for a minute anybody allowed people to suffer because they are African Americans.
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
If I can look at your zip code and I can tell whether you're going to get a good education, we've got a real problem.
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 can never ask others to do something you would not do. That is integrity.
Condoleezza Rice
Even when you cherish democratic ideals, it is never easy to turn them into effective democratic institutions. This process will take decades.
Condoleezza Rice
Defeating human trafficking is a great moral calling of our time...
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
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
I think America is still a bright, shining city on the hill - not because we're perfect but because we struggle in our imperfections every day.
Condoleezza Rice
it is a longstanding principle that sitting national security advisers do not testify before the Congress.
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
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
Everywhere that I go in the world, people desperately look to American leadership in all of their world's most difficult problems. You can look at any region of the world and the United States is still the country to which those regions look for leadership.
Condoleezza Rice
You have to have a strong sense of your values and a strong sense of who you are, because there are a lot of events and a lot of people who will pull you in this direction or that direction.
Condoleezza Rice
