I was taught to strive not be...

I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I teach at Georgetown, and I ...

I teach at Georgetown, and I see that the students have so many different interests. The main thing is to match your passion with your knowledge, because you can't just be passionate without knowing the facts, and facts are really boring without passion.

Whatever the job you are asked to do at whatever level, do a good job because your reputation is your resume.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I'm not a person who thinks t...

I'm not a person who thinks the world would be entirely different if it was run by women. If you think that, you've forgotten what high school was like.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Our life comes in segments, and we have to understand that we can have it all if we're not trying to do it all at once.

I am not a fatalist. I have just been reading War and Peace and Tolstoy is such a fatalist. I think people can make a difference... I am an optimist who worries a lot.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

There are an awful lot of things going on that need understanding and explanation, but - to put it mildly - the world is a mess.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.

To put it mildly, the world is a mess.

The process of education in the oldest profession in the world is like any other educational process, in that it requires time andeffort and patience; it can only be acquired by taking one step at a time, though the steps become accelerated after the first few.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

There is a significant moral difference between a person who commits a violent crime and a person who tries to cross a border illegally in order to put food on the family table. Such migrants my violate our laws against illicit entry, but if that's all they do they are trespassers, not criminals. They deserve to have their dignity respected.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Embrace the faith that every ...

Embrace the faith that every challenge surmounted by your energy; every problem solved by your wisdom; every soul stirred by your passion; and every barrier to justice brought down by your determination will ennoble your life, inspire others, serve your country, and explode outward the boundaries of what is achievable on this earth.

I am by nature a worried optimist.

There is plenty of room in the world for mediocre men but there is no room for mediocre women.

I got married three days after graduation, and the first thing I did what I was expected to do which was to work on a small newspaper. So we were in Chicago where my husband worked for the Chicago Sun-Times and we were having dinner with his editor and he said 'So what are you 'gonna do honey?' and I said 'I'm going to work on a newspaper', and he said 'I don't think so", because Newspaper Guild regulations said that I couldn't work on the same newspaper as my husband.

There were always jokes about Hillary Clinton channeling Eleanor Roosevelt, but Eleanor Roosevelt was really instrumental at the UN, and would want to meet with various other delegates.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

We are very hip on the fact that America's always No. 1. On this we are not, in terms of the number of women in our legislative branches and obviously as head of state. We need to push on that. I hate to say this: It isn't all men's fault. I think some of it is our own attitude and approach. Some of it very healthy, that women want to make choices about their lives and how they want to spend their time, and what they value.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Democracy cannot be built on revenge and you will not have the support of the world if you are intolerant and take the law into your own hands.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

If intelligence were a televi...

If intelligence were a television set, it would be an early black-and-white model with poor reception, so that much of the picture was gray and the figures on the screen were snowy and indistinct. You could fiddle with the knobs all you wanted, but unless you were careful, what you would see often depended more on what you expected or hoped to see than on what was really there.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I think there has to be the sense that once you have climbed the ladder of success, that you don't push it away from the building.
