More quotes by Susan Rice
President Obama is an extraordinary person to work with and for.
Susan Rice
Well, I think by any expectation South Africa has come a tremendously long way. We've seen a society that many people thought couldn't withstand a peaceful transition to democracy without a great deal of violence, in fact, make that transition and do it in relative peace and security.
Susan Rice
South Africa's increasingly, for example, the largest foreign investor in various other parts of Africa.
Susan Rice
Since I've had a career, my hair has been more or less professional.
Susan Rice
Peace, prosperity, and democracy cannot endure if imposed from the outside. We should cease to make false distinctions between peacekeeping and prevention they are in fact inextricably linked.
Susan Rice
I'm not watching any TV shows, frankly.
Susan Rice
I was working with a number of African heads of state. And after their initial surprise, I think many of them just treated me as they would anybody else. They had to deal with me as a representative of the United States of America, and the United States of America was too important to be dismissed or ignored on any grounds.
Susan Rice
We are safer if there are not nuclear arsenals around the planet that can be utilized, stolen, sold to terrorists and others who would do harm.
Susan Rice
The youth thing never really, from my vantage point, slowed me down. I think the harder audience for me to gain acceptance from was the career diplomatic corps that worked with and for me in the Africa Bureau.
Susan Rice
I am blunt when I want to be.
Susan Rice
I have a range, and I'd much rather do things the nice way than the hard way, but sometimes you have to use all the tools at your disposal.
Susan Rice
I am straight forward I am not manipulative I am not two-faced. And I think that that has served me well in all of my roles, particularly as a diplomat, because people knew if I said something, I meant it. If I said no, I meant no, and if I said we could make this work, we would make it work.
Susan Rice
It's in our interest to continue with the Paris Agreement and to deal with climate change as the real threat it actually is.
Susan Rice
If you're trying to get something done, there will always be people who don't want to see you get something done, or who have a stake in the status quo. And if they approach that through ad hominem criticism of you, you've got to have enough confidence and thickness of skin to be able to endure.
Susan Rice
We know that weapons, heavy weapons continue to flow across the border from Russia into Ukraine. And we have now, in recent days, indications that Russians - Russian military units themselves have, on occasion, fired into Ukraine.
Susan Rice
Syria is a civil war. Syria began as a popular uprising, just like the other experiences in the Arab Spring, with a repressive government that responded by basically killing the protesters. It's not a genocide, it's a war, and there's a difference. Genocide is a preplanned attack on people because of who they are. This is a interstate conflict.
Susan Rice
One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.
Susan Rice
If you want change, you have to make it. If we want progress we have to drive it.
Susan Rice
All of us as citizens have to be consumers and judges.
Susan Rice
I think one of the real issues that we're faced with is how we consume news, how the media is perceived, how fake news is gaining a degree of currency without criticism that is dangerous, in my judgement.
