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.

US is a very religious country. Separation of church and state is part of our credo, but that it is hard to understand since our money says "In God we trust" and every President says "God bless America".

It takes more than one dove to make peace in the Middle East.

Leaders are made by the situations they are involved in. I think that some rise to the occasion and some do not.

Often if you don't speak up, whatever you thought was stupid to say some man would say and then everyone would say 'as he said'.

Our collective experience has shown that when women have the power to make their own choices, good things happen.

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.
