More quotes by Madeleine Albright
NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
Madeleine Albright
If you look at U.S. history through religious history, there is very much a motif that shows the importance religion has played in the U.S. We're a very religious country and it affects the way we look at various political issues.
Madeleine Albright
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.

Madeleine Albright
I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.
Madeleine Albright
I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

Madeleine Albright
History is written backwards but lived forwards.
Madeleine Albright
I have always seen the United States as a force of good. And I have learned that there is the idealistic part about what we can do at the U.N. and there is a doable part. And I have learned what is more doable.
Madeleine Albright
People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.
Madeleine Albright
I felt that America's duty was not to try to do everything itself, but to foster a sense of commitment that would bring out the best in every country.
Madeleine Albright
I think we all are people that are the product of our backgrounds. It's wrong to think that you're not.
Madeleine Albright
If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
Madeleine Albright
A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it's not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It's more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.
Madeleine Albright
Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting - only woman at the table - and I'd think, 'OK well, I don't think I'll say that. It may sound stupid.' And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it's completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.
Madeleine Albright
My mind-set is Munich. Most of my generation's is Vietnam.
Madeleine Albright
The world would be entirely different if it were run by women. I think it is true that we are more seeking consensus and don't have such big egos and have a variety of different ways of trying to get along. But anybody who says that the world would be better has forgotten high school. It depends on who the women are.
Madeleine Albright
Because of my parents' love of democracy, we came to America after being driven twice from our home in Czechoslovakia - first by Hitler and then by Stalin.
Madeleine Albright
The administration does not agree with those who suggest we should deploy hundreds of thousands of American troops to engage militarily in a ground war in Iraq.
