More quotes by Madeleine Albright
Leaders are made by the situations they are involved in. I think that some rise to the occasion and some do not.
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

Madeleine Albright
You have to learn to interrupt because you aren't going to get called on.
Madeleine Albright
The cover-up, more than the initial wrongdoing, is what is most likely to bring you down.
Madeleine Albright
In diplomacy, clear-cut wins and losses are rare.
Madeleine Albright
For me, being raised in a free America made all the difference.
Madeleine Albright
The system he (President Hosni Mubarak) is recommending would make it virtually impossible for truly independent parties to participate. Sham democracy should be exposed for what it truly is.
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's Madeleine, and then there's 'Madeleine Albright'. And I sometimes kind of think, who is this person? Once you become 'Madeleine Albright' it doesn't go away.
Madeleine Albright
I'm for democracy, but imposing democracy is an oxymoron. People have to choose democracy, and it has to come up from below.
Madeleine Albright
Well we're good friends so I'm a little prejudice, but I think [Hillary Clinton] is incredibly qualified, and better prepared to be president than almost anyone who's ever run frankly.
Madeleine Albright
If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
Madeleine Albright
