I'm a problem-solver.
Madeleine Albright
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
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
I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.
Madeleine Albright
I can't go out with a Republican.
Madeleine Albright
There is a significant moral difference between a person who commits a violent crime and a person who tries to cross a border illegally in order to put food on the family table. Such migrants my violate our laws against illicit entry, but if that's all they do they are trespassers, not criminals. They deserve to have their dignity respected.
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
Only in America could a refugee girl from Central Europe become secretary of state.
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
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
There's Madeleine, and then there's 'Madeleine Albright'. And I sometimes kind of think, who is this person? Once you become 'Madeleine Albright' it doesn't go away.
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
I am a beneficiary of the American people's generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.
Madeleine Albright
As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.
Madeleine Albright
I think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
Madeleine Albright
The cover-up, more than the initial wrongdoing, is what is most likely to bring you down.
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
We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.
Madeleine Albright
No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators.
Madeleine Albright
I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.
Madeleine Albright
