And so I have studied, I have to tell you, revolutions and uprisings for a long time. They are all slightly different, but what they all look for is some kind of a mechanism to go from an authoritarian system to an open, democratic system. Madeleine Albright
One of the issues I kept saying to my students is you have to learn to interrupt. When you raise your hand at a meeting, by the time they get to you, the point is not germane. So the bottom line is active listening. If you are going to interrupt, you look for opportunities. You have to know what you're talking about. Madeleine Albright
Madeleine Albright quote: "Women can't do everything at the same time, we need to..."

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
Madeleine Albright quote: "While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of..."
While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile. Madeleine Albright
Madeleine Albright quote: "What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability..."
What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change. Madeleine Albright
Madeleine Albright quote: "The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father..."
The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father told me, how I was brought up. Madeleine Albright
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
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
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
I have been in meetings where a head of state will say, 'I like your tie,' to a man... or, 'I like your country because the weather's good,' or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers. Madeleine Albright
