More quotes by Madeleine Albright
I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.
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
Only in America could a refugee girl from Central Europe become secretary of state.
Madeleine Albright
Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.
Madeleine Albright
For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world - but it doesn't happen twice.
Madeleine Albright
I have always thought of myself as a Czechoslovak Catholic.
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
For me, being raised in a free America made all the difference.
Madeleine Albright
And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the “my way or the highway” approach that was evident in the previous eight years.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
Glass ceilings have been broken, but more have to be broken.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.
Madeleine Albright
I think the jobs [at the top] are unbelievably difficult, and there is nothing easier than second-guessing people.
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
I think the personal relationships I established mattered in terms of what I was able to get done. And I did bring women's issues to the center of our foreign policy.
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
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine Albright
I don't think people should think of women's issues as auxiliary issues - they are central.
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
