I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I didn't want to set up a wome...

I didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere, because, especially in national security and international affairs, it's male-dominated.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I think the personal relations...

I think the personal relationships I established mattered in terms of what I was able to get done. And I did bring women's issues to the center of our foreign policy.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I think women want to take car...

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

No matter what message you are...

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I've never been to New Zealand...

I've never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

A lot of people think internat...

A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it's not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It's more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I really think that there was ...

I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

If we have to use force, it is...

If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I do believe that in order to ...

I do believe that in order to be a successful negotiator that as a diplomat, you have to be able to put yourself into the other person's shoes. Unless you can understand what is motivating them, you are never going to be able to figure out how to solve a particular problem.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I am a beneficiary of the American people's generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Hate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

We will not be intimidated or ...

We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Even before I went to the UN, ...

Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting - only woman at the table - and I'd think, 'OK well, I don't think I'll say that. It may sound stupid.' And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it's completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Well I do think, when there ar...

Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn't mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten high school.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

The best book, like the best s...

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all - make us laugh, think, cry and cheer - preferably in that order.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I love being a woman and I was...

I love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men's clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I think that we all know what ...

I think that we all know what evil is. We have a sense of what's evil, and certainly killing innocent people is evil. We're less sure about what is good. There's sort of good, good enough, could be better - but absolute good is a little harder to define.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

It's one thing to be religious...

It's one thing to be religious, but it's another thing to make religion your policy.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

And so I think that the idea o...

And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the 'my way or the highway' approach that was evident in the previous eight years.
