More quotes by Susan Rice
What I learned is that policymakers have to force consideration of actions that may not have occurred to them at the time.
Susan Rice
It is manifestly in the interest of the United States to deal with the very real threat that climate change poses. And that's why President Obama has worked so hard to reduce our own emissions and to lead internationally in forging the Paris climate agreement.
Susan Rice
It may not be what you would've chosen, but we all have a responsibility to be active citizens and shape our system and our future.
Susan Rice
I am blunt sometimes I am diplomatic sometimes I am all things in between. Abrasive, you know, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
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 am a team player - and that is what you need to be an effective point guard. You gotta see the court, you gotta set up the play, and you gotta let others execute for the most part. I don't throw elbows for the sake of throwing elbows, but if somebody throws one at me and it's necessary to respond in kind, I suppose I can if I have to.
Susan Rice
I like to think that with me, what you see is what you get, and you can like or dislike it, it's up to you, but it's straight. That's something that I pride myself on.
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
Since I've had a career, my hair has been more or less professional.
Susan Rice
President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.
Susan Rice
For the United States to recommit itself to the obligation that we undertook in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that many other states undertook, which was to work towards disarmament and the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons, is something that manifestly serves our national security interests.
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 have been to Libya and walked the streets of Benghazi myself.
Susan Rice
I may not be able to work for anybody else again. I may just have to work for myself.
Susan Rice
Americans understand that our security is enhanced when the United States is trusted and respected in the world.
Susan Rice
There is not an inherent contradiction between a Ukraine that has longstanding historic and cultural ties to Russia, and a modern Ukraine that wants to integrate more closely with Europe.
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.
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
I don't get drunk, I get a little happy on rare occasion, and I'm probably dancing if I'm that happy.
Susan Rice
Can I be blunt? Yes. Can I be diplomatic? Yes. Can I concoct a mixture of vinegar and honey when the circumstances warrant? Yes.
Susan Rice
