More quotes by Madeleine Albright
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.
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 didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere, because, especially in national security and international affairs, it's male-dominated.
Madeleine Albright
I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.
Madeleine Albright
A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it's not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It's more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.
Madeleine Albright
I do consider myself a feminist. I know the word has weird implications for people now, but I do think that its important to have women involved, whether its business or public service or...anything.
Madeleine Albright
My deepest regret from my years in public service is the failure of the United States and the international community to act sooner to halt these crimes.
Madeleine Albright
There are a lot of similar aspects in all the religions. The question is which side of it you hold up.
Madeleine Albright
We must be authors of the history of our age.
Madeleine Albright
You have to learn to interrupt because you aren't going to get called on.
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
For me, being raised in a free America made all the difference.
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 can't go out with a Republican.
Madeleine Albright
Because of my parents' love of democracy, we came to America after being driven twice from our home in Czechoslovakia - first by Hitler and then by Stalin.
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
I can't imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.
Madeleine Albright
There were always jokes about Hillary Clinton channeling Eleanor Roosevelt, but Eleanor Roosevelt was really instrumental at the UN, and would want to meet with various other delegates.
Madeleine Albright
The cover-up, more than the initial wrongdoing, is what is most likely to bring you down.
Madeleine Albright
