More quotes by Susan Rice
President Obama has got the most moderate temperament.
Susan Rice
There are no cookie-cutter solutions that you can apply from one circumstance to another. They're different. Our interests, as implicated, are different. The tools we have at our disposal are different.
Susan Rice
I'm apologetic when I feel like I've made a mistake. And when I have done a disservice to myself or someone else. But I don't feel a need to apologize for doing or saying something that I think needs to be said, just because it may not sit comfortably with somebody else.
Susan Rice
Focus on something that stirs your soul, it's hard to excel at anything that you don't love.
Susan Rice
All of us as citizens have to be consumers and judges.
Susan Rice
We are patriots in my family, we are believers in America, we're believers in democracy.
Susan Rice
We must be honest in acknowledging that neither Germany nor the US has the luxury of assuming that we can skate by on half-measures in Afghanistan and Pakistan and not risk suffering the consequences.
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
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
I have great ambitions for when I get out of government. I will watch a broader range of stuff.
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
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
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
Legislation that would withhold funding for the United Nations is fundamentally flawed in concept and practice, sets us back, is self-defeating, and doesn't work.
Susan Rice
Once you've learned to study in a bathing suit on the grass with muscled men throwing frisbees over your head, you can accomplish almost anything.
Susan Rice
Like democracy itself, jazz has structure, but within it you can say almost anything.
Susan Rice
I'm not watching any TV shows, frankly.
Susan Rice
Iran's economy is now shrinking by 1 percent a year. Its oil production is down 40 percent.
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
What I learned is that policymakers have to force consideration of actions that may not have occurred to them at the time.
