Condoleezza Rice
There's no doubt that it's still a dangerous place, Afghanistan. The fortunate thing is that the United States was helping to provide security for Chairman Karzai. And it shows that the United States is committed to that regime.
Condoleezza Rice
I firmly believe you never should spend your time being the former anything.
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
We need a common enemy to unite us.

Condoleezza Rice
I've never really been a workaholic.
Condoleezza Rice
I've speculated about what my life might have been like as a musician, but I'm afraid I came to the conclusion that I probably would've either been teaching piano or maybe gotten to play at Nordstrom's department store.
Condoleezza Rice
What I tell student athletes is first of all, you've made good choices this far in order to be able to be in college and to be an athlete. Keep making good choices.
Condoleezza Rice
The Iranian people have a proud past. They merit a great future.
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
Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.
