More quotes by Madeleine Albright
I bought ... the pins with my three daughters in mind the ships are beautiful, graceful, and moving along at full sail, having long since left home port.
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.
Madeleine Albright
The reason I made women's issues central to American foreign policy, was not because I was a feminist, but because we know that societies are more stable if women are politically and economically empowered.
Madeleine Albright
I do think that one needs to have respect for people who are older. And I really do love the idea that one can respect generations.
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 think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
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
Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting - only woman at the table - and I'd think, 'OK well, I don't think I'll say that. It may sound stupid.' And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it's completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.
Madeleine Albright
I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.
Madeleine Albright
And so I have studied, I have to tell you, revolutions and uprisings for a long time. They are all slightly different, but what they all look for is some kind of a mechanism to go from an authoritarian system to an open, democratic system.
Madeleine Albright
The world would be entirely different if it were run by women. I think it is true that we are more seeking consensus and don't have such big egos and have a variety of different ways of trying to get along. But anybody who says that the world would be better has forgotten high school. It depends on who the women are.
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
My mind-set is Munich. Most of my generation's is Vietnam.
Madeleine Albright
When we're trying to solve difficult national issues its sometimes necessary to talk to adversaries as well as friends. Historians have a word for this: diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright
I do not believe that things happen accidentally I believe you earn them.
Madeleine Albright
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
To put it mildly, the world is a mess.
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
You have to learn to interrupt because you aren't going to get called on.
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.
