More quotes by Madeleine Albright
There is a significant moral difference between a person who commits a violent crime and a person who tries to cross a border illegally in order to put food on the family table. Such migrants my violate our laws against illicit entry, but if that's all they do they are trespassers, not criminals. They deserve to have their dignity respected.
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
Every new president inherits headaches, but President Obama has inherited an entire emergency room.
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
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
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
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
I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.
Madeleine Albright
China is in its own category - too big to ignore, too repressive to embrace, difficult to influence, and very, very proud.
Madeleine Albright
The Framework Agreement is one of the best things the [Clinton] Administration has done because it stopped a nuclear weapons program in North Korea.
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
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
I get up every morning and I'm grateful for everything that has happened. I go through my list about being grateful for my children and grandchildren, and for the really remarkable life that I have been able to have.
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
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
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 think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
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
As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.
Madeleine Albright
I can't see democracy occurring by force - after an Iraqi war, because of the fallout from that.
Madeleine Albright
