More quotes by Madeleine Albright
To be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.
Madeleine Albright
Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.
Madeleine Albright
Today, I say that no nation in the world need be left out of the global system we are constructing.
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
The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
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
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
China is in its own category - too big to ignore, too repressive to embrace, difficult to influence, and very, very proud.
Madeleine Albright
When we're trying to solve difficult national issues its sometimes necessary to talk to adversaries as well as friends. Historians have a word for this: diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright
There were always jokes about Hillary Clinton channeling Eleanor Roosevelt, but Eleanor Roosevelt was really instrumental at the UN, and would want to meet with various other delegates.
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 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 was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.
Madeleine Albright
I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.
Madeleine Albright
We must be authors of the history of our age.
Madeleine Albright
Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.
Madeleine Albright
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances that was and is our common purpose.
Madeleine Albright
If there's nobody in your way, you're not going anywhere.
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
