Madeleine Albright
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
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
Nobody's ever said that pins are a tool of diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright
I went to college somewhere between the invention of the iPad and the discovery of fire... but I had gone to a women's college.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.
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
