"One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals, out of government offices, into the media, into the streets of countries."

"We will naturally pursue our goals on the strength of our own resources, skills and enterprise. But, we know that we will be more successful when we do this in partnership with the world."

"I am not in competition with anyone but myself. My goal is to improve myself continuously."

"If you don't have daily objectives, you qualify as a dreamer."

"When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there."

"Our daily objectives should include an honest effort to improve on yesterday."
