Madeleine Albright

I cannot repeat how proud I was to represent the United States.

I think it is inhumane toward the people that want to come in and the many refugees that have been created, and so I think it is, frankly, un-American.

I happen to have supported the JCPOA, because in many ways, it dealt with the most serious aspect of Iran's behavior.

I do think that we need to stand up for what is in the Taiwan Relations Act and make very clear that that relationship is an important one.

We are the most powerful country in the world, and we are destroying the capability to deal with problems by walking away from issues that we have agreed to.

When we are not respected around the world, it makes us less able to build the partnerships and coalitions.

I find hypernationalism a very dangerous aspect as far as democracy is concerned.

I have felt it is a mistake always to cutoff relations with a country or not have that conversation, because that is what diplomacy is about.

He has played a weak hand very well, and we have played a strong hand poorly.

I think that is not the best way for America to behave, you know, to pull out of the Paris Agreement and the agreement with the Iranians, and TPP, and just kind of decide that whenever it occurs to us, we're going to pull out without…

Democracy assistance is not to impose democracy. That is an oxymoron.

Experience has taught me that diplomacy, development, and democracy are as integral to our national security as defense.
