More quotes by Queen Rania of Jordan
Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Queen Rania of Jordan
First of all, in many Muslim countries women have incredible amounts of freedom, sometimes more than in some countries in Europe. So you cannot just make a generalized statement about women. Second, Islam is not the problem. It's tradition. It's culture. It's age-old mind-sets that need to be changed.
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
Women in Jordan are participating in all aspects of civil as well as political life - as female judges, parliamentarians, businesswomen. And the evolution will continue. This is not something that happens overnight.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Being queen is overrated.
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
Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Social media are a catalyst for the advancement of everyone's rights. It's where we're reminded that we're all human and all equal. It's where people can find and fight for a cause, global or local, popular or specialized, even when there are hundreds of miles between them.
Queen Rania of Jordan
The hardest [part] is some of the misperceptions that are leveled against me as a person and against Muslim women.
Queen Rania of Jordan
I want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Children keep us in check. Their laughter prevents our hearts from hardening. Their dreams ensure we never lose our drive to make ours a better world. They are the greatest disciplinarians known to mankind.
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
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
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
Whatever title or office we may be privileged to hold, it is what we do that defines who we are ... Each of us must decide what kind of person we want to be-what kind of legacy that we want to pass on.
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
Good teachers teach. Great teachers transform.
Queen Rania of Jordan
When girls are educated, you get effects that cascade throughout society.
Queen Rania of Jordan
The job description for a queen changes with the times.
