More quotes by Susan Rice
We have to know who we are and know what we believe.
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
The notion that -- which some people are trying to suggest, that by asking for the identity of an American person, that is the same as leaking it, is completely false. There's no equivalence between so-called unmasking and leaking.
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
All of us as citizens have to be consumers and judges.
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
President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.
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
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 have to separate my personal concerns from my professional responsibilities.
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
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
Bashar al-Assad and those who still stand by him are now responsible for the deaths of more than 20,000 in Syria.
Susan Rice
Focus on something that stirs your soul, it's hard to excel at anything that you don't love.
Susan Rice
People are consuming the news that is comfortable for them, not necessarily the news that is real or that they need to know.
Susan Rice
President Obama is an extraordinary person to work with and for.
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
I am blunt when I want to be.
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
