More quotes by 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
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
Madeleine Albright
I have been in meetings where a head of state will say, 'I like your tie,' to a man... or, 'I like your country because the weather's good,' or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers.
Madeleine Albright
Women have to work exceptionally hard.
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
I bought ... the pins with my three daughters in mind the ships are beautiful, graceful, and moving along at full sail, having long since left home port.
Madeleine Albright
We must be authors of the history of our age.
Madeleine Albright
Even though there were three newspapers in Chicago at the time, he said 'you wouldn't want to compete with your husband, and so instead of doing what I might do now in that situation, I basically saluted and found other things to do.
Madeleine Albright
If there's nobody in your way, you're not going anywhere.
Madeleine Albright
I wasn't a normal professor. I had worked in government. I hadn't written nine zillion books. I was a hands-on professor.
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
The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Madeleine Albright
Nobody's ever said that pins are a tool of diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright
What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.
Madeleine Albright
And so I have studied, I have to tell you, revolutions and uprisings for a long time. They are all slightly different, but what they all look for is some kind of a mechanism to go from an authoritarian system to an open, democratic system.
Madeleine Albright
The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances that was and is our common purpose.
Madeleine Albright
One of the issues I kept saying to my students is you have to learn to interrupt. When you raise your hand at a meeting, by the time they get to you, the point is not germane. So the bottom line is active listening. If you are going to interrupt, you look for opportunities. You have to know what you're talking about.
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
Well we're good friends so I'm a little prejudice, but I think [Hillary Clinton] is incredibly qualified, and better prepared to be president than almost anyone who's ever run frankly.
Madeleine Albright
I don't think people should think of women's issues as auxiliary issues - they are central.
Madeleine Albright
