You can never ask others to do something you would not do. That is integrity.
Condoleezza Rice
[In] the United States, we've always been held together by the belief that it doesn't matter where you came from. It matters where you're going.
Condoleezza Rice

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
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 think it's very humble to believe that there is no man, woman or child who should live in tyranny. That people who say, well, maybe Arabs just aren't ready for democracy or maybe Africans just are going to have corrupt governments, that seems to me arrogant.
Condoleezza Rice
Punish France, ignore Germany, and forgive Russia.
Condoleezza Rice
First, I wanted to answer the question I'm most frequently asked: How did you become who you are? Well, you had to know John and Angelena Rice.
Condoleezza Rice
But, clearly, the prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands. The current circumstances come out of what I think is a very important and indeed appropriate action that the Iraqi government has taken.
Condoleezza Rice
I believe in having a private life.
Condoleezza Rice
Differences can be a strength.
Condoleezza Rice
Education is of no value and talent is worthless - unless you have an unwavering aim. Never find yourself without a compass.
Condoleezza Rice
The essence of America - that which really unites us - is not ethnicity, or nationality or religion - it is an idea - and what an idea it is: That you can come from humble circumstances and do great things.
Condoleezza Rice
What we will not wait for is that particular nexus of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction that is extremism, and the technology to come together in a way that is harmful to the United States.
