More quotes by Madeleine Albright
If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.
Madeleine Albright

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
We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.
Madeleine Albright
Women can't do everything at the same time, we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments.
Madeleine Albright
John Kerry knows more about more subjects than an awful lot of people. But I think it's a very hard job [Secretary of State].

Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.
Madeleine Albright
I consider it my patriotic duty as an ordinary citizen - not as Secretary of State - to ask questions. I think we have to ask ourselves the tough questions.
Madeleine Albright
To be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.
Madeleine Albright
I'm not a person who thinks the world would be entirely different if it was run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten what high school was like.
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
Women are more than 50% of almost every country in the world. Countries rob themselves of the resources of women if they keep them as property. It isn't that women can't find work. It's just that women don't get paid for their work and are not recognized properly. It's something that has to be on the international agenda all the time.
Madeleine Albright
In diplomacy, clear-cut wins and losses are rare.
Madeleine Albright
I can't go out with a Republican.
Madeleine Albright
I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.
Madeleine Albright
There were always jokes about Hillary Clinton channeling Eleanor Roosevelt, but Eleanor Roosevelt was really instrumental at the UN, and would want to meet with various other delegates.
