More quotes by 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
I didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere, because, especially in national security and international affairs, it's male-dominated.
Madeleine Albright
If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
Madeleine Albright
I do not believe that things happen accidentally I believe you earn them.
Madeleine Albright
The reason I made women's issues central to American foreign policy, was not because I was a feminist, but because we know that societies are more stable if women are politically and economically empowered.
Madeleine Albright
And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the “my way or the highway” approach that was evident in the previous eight years.
Madeleine Albright
I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren't able to live in the place you called home.
Madeleine Albright
As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.
Madeleine Albright
While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.
Madeleine Albright
I went to college somewhere between the invention of the iPad and the discovery of fire... but I had gone to a women's college.
Madeleine Albright
I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.
Madeleine Albright
I never dreamed about one day becoming Secretary of State. It's not that I was modest it's just that I had never seen a Secretary of State in a skirt.
Madeleine Albright
Hate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.
Madeleine Albright
I am a beneficiary of the American people's generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.
Madeleine Albright
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.
Madeleine Albright
I can't imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.
Madeleine Albright
No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators.
Madeleine Albright
I do consider myself a feminist. I know the word has weird implications for people now, but I do think that its important to have women involved, whether its business or public service or...anything.
Madeleine Albright
Today, I say that no nation in the world need be left out of the global system we are constructing.
Madeleine Albright
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
Madeleine Albright
