More quotes by 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
Women have to work exceptionally hard.

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
The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.
Madeleine Albright
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders.

I'm a problem-solver.
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.

Madeleine Albright
Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.
Madeleine Albright
People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
History is written backwards but lived forwards.
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
The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances that was and is our common purpose.
Madeleine Albright
The capability of negotiating... is something that means you not only have to understand fully what you believe and what your national interests are but in order to be a really good negotiator, you have to try to figure out what the other person on the other side of the table has in mind.
Madeleine Albright
The cover-up, more than the initial wrongdoing, is what is most likely to bring you down.
Madeleine Albright
Nobody's ever said that pins are a tool of diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright
The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Madeleine Albright
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.
