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.

More quotes by Condoleezza Rice
Education is transformational. It changes lives. That is why people work so hard to become educated and why education has always been the key to the American Dream, the force that erases arbitrary divisions of race and class and culture and unlocks every person's God-given potential.
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
If the strong exploit the weak, democracy will not be stable.
Condoleezza Rice
I'm not personally fearful, but I look out, and there are a number of things that concern me, and I'm hopeful that we can overcome them.
Condoleezza Rice
The people of the Middle East share the desire for freedom. We have an opportunity - and an obligation - to help them turn this desire into reality.
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
Democracy is the most realistic way for diverse peoples to resolve their differences, and share power, and heal social divisions without violence or repression.
Condoleezza Rice
Ultimately, we didn't go to Germany to create a democracy. We went to overthrow Adolf Hitler. But once a democracy was there, Germany was a much bigger supporter of and help to our national interests, both economic and security than had ever been before.
Condoleezza Rice
It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.
Condoleezza Rice
My job is to try to advance American foreign policy, to try to advance the president's agenda on democracy and human rights.
Condoleezza Rice
Self esteem comes from achievements. Not from lax standards and false praise.
Condoleezza Rice
I have constantly told people that I was Secretary of State and I was not going to get into a partisan debate. And I would vote my ballot in a secret way, as all Americans do. But I just want to acknowledge that after the election took place, it was a special time for Americans.
Condoleezza Rice
I really wish that we had passed a comprehensive immigration bill because that would've really helped our country.
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
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.
Condoleezza Rice
I'm a terrible long-term planner.
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
This is not 1968 and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, where Russia can threaten its neighbors, occupy a capital, overthrow a government, and get away with it. Things have changed.
Condoleezza Rice
Defeating human trafficking is a great moral calling of our time...
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
