More quotes by Madeleine Albright
If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
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
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
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
I loved what I did. I could've been secretary of state for ever.
Madeleine Albright
Democracy cannot be built on revenge and you will not have the support of the world if you are intolerant and take the law into your own hands.
Madeleine Albright
I get up every morning and I'm grateful for everything that has happened. I go through my list about being grateful for my children and grandchildren, and for the really remarkable life that I have been able to have.
Madeleine Albright
I have been in meetings where a head of state will say, 'I like your tie,' to a man... or, 'I like your country because the weather's good,' or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers.
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 love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men's clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.
Madeleine Albright
I consider it my patriotic duty as an ordinary citizen - not as Secretary of State - to ask questions. I think we have to ask ourselves the tough questions.
Madeleine Albright
I got married, I really waited a long time - three days after I graduated.
Madeleine Albright
I can't see democracy occurring by force - after an Iraqi war, because of the fallout from that.
Madeleine Albright
We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.
Madeleine Albright
To be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.
Madeleine Albright
Foreign policy is now a huge field. It isn't just people who are studying political science. There are so many aspects to it in terms of understanding hard science for people who are studying climate change, or people who are interested in health policy or food security, or people who care about education.
Madeleine Albright
Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.
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
I think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
Madeleine Albright
I wasn't a normal professor. I had worked in government. I hadn't written nine zillion books. I was a hands-on professor.
Madeleine Albright
