I have always seen the United...

I have always seen the United States as a force of good. And I have learned that there is the idealistic part about what we can do at the U.N. and there is a doable part. And I have learned what is more doable.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I saw what happened when a di...

I saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Don't make me into this airy-...

Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Really, I have to laugh becau...

Really, I have to laugh because there was a whole set of stories that made me sound like the Dragon Lady, you know, 'tough this and tough that.' Then there is this business about 'gooey.' The bottom line is I am a pragmatic idealist.

For somebody who loves foreig...

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world - but it doesn't happen twice.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I think that a president need...

I think that a president needs to have a variety of views presented. But also, there has to be a team effort, because otherwise, I think it creates a dissonance and difficulty.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

It's important that we invest...

It's important that we invest in America - literally. The terrorists wanted to destroy our economy, and we can't let our system fall apart. We also have to invest in one another.

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

The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father told me, how I was brought up.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

As a leader, you have to have...

As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.

No matter how hard we might wish, we will not be able to transform China's behavior overnight.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

This is pure speculation, but...

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

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

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

Take it from someone who fled...

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

I have said this many times, ...

I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Well, the thing that I learne...

Well, the thing that I learned as a diplomat is that human relations ultimately make a huge difference.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

Because of my parents' love of democracy, we came to America after being driven twice from our home in Czechoslovakia - first by Hitler and then by Stalin.

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

You think that the heads of state only have serious conversations, but they actually often begin really with the weather or, 'I really like your tie.'

Madeleine Albright 253 quotes

But I do not believe that the...

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
