More quotes by 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

Susan Rice
I am very aware of being black and female because that's what I am.
Susan Rice
We are patriots in my family, we are believers in America, we're believers in democracy.

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
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
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
Focus on something that stirs your soul, it's hard to excel at anything that you don't love.
Susan Rice
One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.
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
I don't worry about how folks want to characterize me.
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
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
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
Susan Rice
If you want change, you have to make it. If we want progress we have to drive it.
Susan Rice
I spend every day up at the United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is viewed.
