More quotes by Madeleine Albright
It's one thing to be religious, but it's another thing to make religion your policy.
Madeleine Albright
Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interestingly enough, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of rank.
Madeleine Albright
We have a responsibility in our time, as others have had in theirs, not to be prisoners of history but to shape history, a responsibility to fill the role of path-finder, and to build with others a global network of purpose and law.
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
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
The Framework Agreement is one of the best things the [Clinton] Administration has done because it stopped a nuclear weapons program in North Korea.
Madeleine Albright
The interesting part is, that being the United States Secretary of State, most places I went didn't have a problem with me being a woman, because I was representing the United States.
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
I felt that America's duty was not to try to do everything itself, but to foster a sense of commitment that would bring out the best in every country.
Madeleine Albright
Glass ceilings have been broken, but more have to be broken.
Madeleine Albright
History is written backwards but lived forwards.
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
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
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 really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.
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 spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.
Madeleine Albright
I'm not a person who thinks the world would be entirely different if it was run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten what high school was like.
Madeleine Albright
Women are more than 50% of almost every country in the world. Countries rob themselves of the resources of women if they keep them as property. It isn't that women can't find work. It's just that women don't get paid for their work and are not recognized properly. It's something that has to be on the international agenda all the time.
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.
