Condoleezza Rice
I didn't run for student council president. I don't see myself in any way in elected office. I love policy. I'm not particularly fond of politics.
Condoleezza Rice
I believe our Presidents work hard and it's the loneliest job in the world.
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
At no time did I intend to, or do I believe that I did put forward false information to the American people.
Condoleezza Rice
As secretary of state it's been an enormous honor to represent this great country that I love so much - I have really seen that our great strengths are in the ability of people to reach their potential here.
Condoleezza Rice
I really wish that we had passed a comprehensive immigration bill because that would've really helped our country.
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
What the United States has done hasn't always been liked or popular. But if you look at some of the most populous places in the world - China, India - the United States is not only respected but, in fact, popular.
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.
