[In] the United States, we've always been held together by the belief that it doesn't matter where you came from. It matters where you're going.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

The sooner you learn that lif...

The sooner you learn that life is not fair, the better off you'll be, because you'll spend less time railing against life's unfairness and feeling aggrieved and entitled, and more time figuring out how to maximize your assets, and your talents and how to deal with things that you're not very good at.

Today's headlines and history's judgement are not the same.

Our work has only begun. In o...

Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope.

I'm very glad my mother didn't let me quit piano lessons at age 10. She said I wasn't old enough or good enough to make that decision, and she was right. I remember at the time I was shocked. I did not like that my mother said those things to me. But when I got a chance to play with Yo-Yo Ma or more recently with Aretha Franklin, I thought, I'm really glad she said what she did.

Today's headlines and history...

Today's headlines and history's judgment are rarely the same. If you are too attentive to the former, you will most certainly not do the hard work of securing the latter.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

Well, there are many things, ...

Well, there are many things, whenever you look back, that you would've done differently. We're all human. We do our best at the time. I really wish that we had passed a comprehensive immigration bill because that would've really helped our country. We came close, but we couldn't.

It is a dangerous thing to ask why someone else has been given more. It is humbling - and indeed healthy - to ask why you have been given so much.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

We're all products of our env...

We're all products of our environment, and I suspect that strength of will - the feeling, "I'm going to be able to do whatever you put in front of me" - is honed in an environment where not everything is easy. Ironically, growing up in that environment, you don't have a sense of aggrievement or entitlement. You just have a sense of overcoming.

When somebody underestimated me, it made me want to prove them wrong.

Truly remarkable leadership is not just about motivating others to follow, it's about inspiring them to become leaders themselves and setting the stage for even greater opportunities for future generations.

You might not be able to control your circumstances but you can control your response to your circumstances.

Great leaders never accept the world as it was and always work for the world as it should be

Differences can be strength rather than a handicap.

Leading in a complex world means recognizing the simple things you can do to make things better.

Human beings are not perfect. Their institutions are not perfect, but they have to keep trying. And America has to help people keep trying.

What you know today can affect what you do tomorrow, but not what you did yesterday.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

There is nothing better than being in a classroom with really, really brilliant students, and opening up new worlds to them. That's what I love doing.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

We've organized human potential and have been better at using human potential better than any country on the face of the Earth. That's because we've recognized that our national creed, our national identity, is that it doesn't matter where you're from, it matters where you're going. You can come from hard circumstances and do great things. We've got to make that true for a whole variety of people who no longer feel that.

Condoleeza Rice 28 quotes

We're not going to negotiate about the terms of terrorism. You don't negotiate about terrorism. It's is wrong to engage in terrorism, and there isn't anything to negotiate.
