More quotes by 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.

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.

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 don't think people should think of women's issues as auxiliary issues - they are central.
Madeleine Albright
I do believe that in order to be a successful negotiator that as a diplomat, you have to be able to put yourself into the other person's shoes. Unless you can understand what is motivating them, you are never going to be able to figure out how to solve a particular problem.
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 do not believe that things happen accidentally I believe you earn them.
Madeleine Albright
I think we all are people that are the product of our backgrounds. It's wrong to think that you're not.
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
I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.
Madeleine Albright
