More quotes by Queen Rania of Jordan
Look at any country that's plagued with poverty, disease or violence the antidote is girls. Girls are the antibodies to many of society's ills.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Good teachers teach. Great teachers transform.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don't get to express myself creatively through my official duties.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Queen Rania of Jordan
You cannot kill an ideology with a bullet. You can only kill it with a better idea.
Queen Rania of Jordan
It's about using social media for social change: creating a community of advocates who can use their voices on behalf of the voiceless, or leverage their talents, skills, knowledge, and resources to put more children into classrooms, or pressure their elected representatives to get global education top of the agenda.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Of course, I tweet. Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
Queen Rania of Jordan
When you educate a girl, you kick-start a cycle of success. It makes economic sense. It makes social sense. It makes moral sense. But, it seems, it's not common sense yet.
Queen Rania of Jordan
It is all too easy to draw conclusions and make sweeping judgments about millions of Muslim women based on fleeting television images. That is not right.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Muslim women must stand up and speak out about who we are, what we believe and where we are going. I think we need to know that our counterparts in the west are also willing to listen and reciprocate.
Queen Rania of Jordan
The more time goes on, the closer I am to the ground. I've been exposed to so many issues and people living under different pressures. It's helped me realize that a lot of glamorous things that people prioritize really don't matter.
Queen Rania of Jordan
A woman caring for her children a woman striving to excel in the private sector a woman partnering with her neighbors to make their street safer a woman running for office to improve her country - they all have something to offer, and the more our societies empower women, the more we receive in return.
Queen Rania of Jordan
I think generally, in life, I try to always ensure that there are periodic moments where I do venture out of my comfort zone, because that's what keeps you alive. That's what keeps you from getting stale.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Being queen is overrated.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.
Queen Rania of Jordan
I want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.
Queen Rania of Jordan
People sometimes think of 'queen' as a title that's shrouded with protocol and formality, and for that reason sometimes people are not easily saying what they want to say. They're reluctant to express their opinions, and I kind of find that frustrating because I want to know what people really, really think.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust. That is towards more the American and some Western policies, and not toward the American people.
Queen Rania of Jordan
My role models are people who can do things I say to myself, 'I wish I could do that.'
Queen Rania of Jordan
