More quotes by 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
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
China is in its own category - too big to ignore, too repressive to embrace, difficult to influence, and very, very proud.
Madeleine Albright
Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn't mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten high school.
Madeleine Albright
The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.
Madeleine Albright
After the Cold War, to rally the American people to understand that we had to be a part of solutions. It's one thing to say that we have to run everything, it's another to say we don't want anything to do with it.
Madeleine Albright
If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
Madeleine Albright
John Kerry knows more about more subjects than an awful lot of people. But I think it's a very hard job [Secretary of State].
Madeleine Albright
Well we're good friends so I'm a little prejudice, but I think [Hillary Clinton] is incredibly qualified, and better prepared to be president than almost anyone who's ever run frankly.
Madeleine Albright
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
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. But anybody who says that the world would be better has forgotten high school. It depends on who the women are.
Madeleine Albright
I can't go out with a Republican.
Madeleine Albright
If there's nobody in your way, you're not going anywhere.
Madeleine Albright
I do not believe that things happen accidentally I believe you earn them.
Madeleine Albright
So there really was a whole series of things that took the women of my generation a little bit of time to push forward.
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
My parents were of the generation who thought they were the children of a free Czechoslovakia, the only democracy in central Europe.
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
I got married, I really waited a long time - three days after I graduated.
Madeleine Albright
I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.
