More quotes by Madeleine Albright
People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.
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
My deepest regret from my years in public service is the failure of the United States and the international community to act sooner to halt these crimes.
Madeleine Albright

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
You have to learn to interrupt because you aren't going to get called on.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
I am such a political person.
Madeleine Albright
Our life comes in segments, and we have to understand that we can have it all if we're not trying to do it all at once.
Madeleine Albright
I think the hardest part [is] the priorities. There are an awful lot of things to do [being Secretary of State].
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
NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
Madeleine Albright
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
Madeleine Albright
The bottom line is, the more we have a cadre of women moving up the scale, and it doesn't seem threatening, and people realize that women actually work much harder than men, and realize that they need more women in these jobs, I think that goes away.
Madeleine Albright
To put it mildly, the world is a mess.
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
