More quotes by Madeleine Albright
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
Madeleine Albright
Our life comes in segments, and we have to understand that we can have it all if we're not trying to do it all at once.
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
What you have to be concerned about are the extremists. On the whole, we need to understand the more moderate Muslims before they become more radicalized.
Madeleine Albright
This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

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
A skilled diplomat rarely generates extreme reactions.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
So there really was a whole series of things that took the women of my generation a little bit of time to push forward.
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
The administration does not agree with those who suggest we should deploy hundreds of thousands of American troops to engage militarily in a ground war in Iraq.
Madeleine Albright
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
I think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
Madeleine Albright
Women have to work exceptionally hard.
Madeleine Albright
History is written backwards but lived forwards.
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
The bottom line is, the more we have a cadre of women moving up the scale, and it doesn't seem threatening, and people realize that women actually work much harder than men, and realize that they need more women in these jobs, I think that goes away.
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
I have always seen the United States as a force of good. And I have learned that there is the idealistic part about what we can do at the U.N. and there is a doable part. And I have learned what is more doable.
Madeleine Albright
