More quotes by Madeleine Albright
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
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
If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.
Madeleine Albright
Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.
Madeleine Albright
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
The bottom line is, the more we have a cadre of women moving up the scale, and it doesn't seem threatening, and people realize that women actually work much harder than men, and realize that they need more women in these jobs, I think that goes away.
Madeleine Albright
What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.
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
Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.
Madeleine Albright
I have always seen the United States as a force of good. And I have learned that there is the idealistic part about what we can do at the U.N. and there is a doable part. And I have learned what is more doable.
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
The stunning part was that one time Neil McElroy the Secretary of Defense who was the father of one of our classmates spoke and basically at commencement, he told us all that our job after graduation was to get married and have interesting sons...and we all found that hard to believe.
Madeleine Albright
One of the things that was really an issue was I did not want to just be a woman secretary of state. I wanted to be a secretary of a state who was a woman, but not just chosen for that particular reason.
Madeleine Albright
the purpose of foreign policy is to persuade others to do what we want or, better yet, to want what we want.
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'm for democracy, but imposing democracy is an oxymoron. People have to choose democracy, and it has to come up from below.
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
While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.
Madeleine Albright
We must be authors of the history of our age.
Madeleine Albright
Whatever the job you are asked to do at whatever level, do a good job because your reputation is your resume.
Madeleine Albright
