More quotes by Queen Rania of Jordan
I don't think people by nature are extremists. You will never find a population of extremists. Extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. And what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Queen Rania of Jordan
I'd rather be dealt with as a person than a persona.
Queen Rania of Jordan
I want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.
Queen Rania of Jordan

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
By its very nature, hard-line ideology is self-serving and self-perpetuating its primary goal is to survive - and that precludes everything.
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
Learning to read and write changes lives it means jobs, money, health, and dreams fulfilled.
