the purpose of foreign policy is to persuade others to do what we want or, better yet, to want what we want.
Madeleine Albright
I teach at Georgetown, and I see that the students have so many different interests. The main thing is to match your passion with your knowledge, because you can't just be passionate without knowing the facts, and facts are really boring without passion.
Madeleine Albright
