It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent Picture Quote #1

Well, the thing that I learned as a diplomat is that human relations ultimately make a huge difference Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When we’re trying to solve difficult national issues its sometimes necessary to talk to adversaries as well as friends. Historians have a word for this: diplomacy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice. It comes from realizing that the time has come to move beyond waiting to doing Picture Quote #1

I was struck by the joy of those pilots in committing coldblooded murder... Frankly, this is not cojones. This is cowardice Picture Quote #1

What’s the point of having this superb military you’re always talking about, if we can’t use it? Picture Quote #1

I’m for democracy, but imposing democracy is an oxymoron. People have to choose democracy, and it has to come up from below Picture Quote #1

I have very set and consistent principles, but I am flexible on tactics. I like to get the job done Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that we had a different view of what the 21st century could be like, with much more of a sense, from our perspective, of trying to have an interdependent world: looking at solving regional conflicts, having strength in alliances, operating within some kind of a sense that we were part of the international community and not outside of it Picture Quote #1

Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interestingly enough, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of rank Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
