More quotes by Susan Rice
I do leisure reading but I don't get to do it like, at one in the morning. When I getting up at six in the morning, so I do most of my leisure reading on vacation and on airplanes and that sort of stuff.
Susan Rice
I don't worry about how folks want to characterize me.
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
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 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
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
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
Susan Rice
I think it's very, very important that in foreign policy and national security decision making, as in any other realm, that there be a range of diversity that reflects the full complexity of America. We should draw on those experiences to inform our decision making.
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
Change doesn't happen with people sitting on their behinds, getting lazy.
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
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
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
We have to know who we are and know what we believe.
Susan Rice
Well, Nigeria has played a constructive role in peacekeeping in various parts of West Africa. But unless and until Nigeria itself is democratic and respects human rights, it too may well be a source of much greater instability as political repression limits the ability of the people of Nigeria to achieve their full potential.
Susan Rice
I am blunt when I want to be.
Susan Rice
President Obama is an extraordinary person to work with and for.
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
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.
