A desire to succeed in politics is propelled by these two seemingly contradictory forces, which frequently change places and sometimes coexist: to save others and to save oneself.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) One reason the United States is one of three countries in the world that do not have any form of paid maternity leave is that many American business leaders, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, oppose any family-friendly policies. They scare people into thinking maternity leave will be a job killer.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Without putting the brakes on out-of-control campaign contributions from individuals and corporations - it will be business as usual, with 1 percent of Americans pulling the strings.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) We must speed up the time table for fathers, brothers and sons to provide their mothers, daughters and sisters with the same opportunities that they give themselves.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) It’s time for male leaders to not only ask for binders of qualified women, but to re-write the definition of ‘qualified.’ The best man for the job, may in fact, be a woman, whose biography is not traditional, but is rich with experiences and skills that are not necessarily learned either in school or on the job.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Poor privileged white men. Their stranglehold on power is slowly being loosened.  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Investment in early education is not a Liberal or Conservative idea. Nor should it be decided along party lines  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Early childhood education begins early, even before birth  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Life experience is not something to be denied, but to be celebrated  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) To equate a corporation with a person is a travesty of justice  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Simply put, when women do well, everybody does better  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) The political environment we create matters because a disturbed person cannot always tell the difference between explosive rhetoric and explosive actions  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Babies are smart. They can tell the difference between a responsive face and a blank face, wiped clean of emotion  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) If being a woman is a factor politically, it’s usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) It is the future, of course, which politicians grapple with, and that is why politics is so disorderly. Only history clears away some of the debris  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Those who speak up, those who use their connections, are more likely to succeed than those who sit and wait  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) When I ran for governor, was I ambitious? Yes. Anyone, male or female, who goes through the trials of a campaign must be ambitious  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Working moms, and increasingly working dads, don’t want a government handout, but they do need a hand up  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) A small pay discrepancy between men’s and women’s salaries for the same job may seem inconsequential. But over the years, salary discrimination adds up to a significantly smaller pension  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) There are no more excuses for leaving women out of the inner circles of power. Qualified women are everywhere. Women are ready for leadership; they just need to be identified and asked  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) We continue to blame the poor for their own condition. They are lazy. We do not want to know that the poorest of the poor are toddlers under three years of age  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It’s part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, thats where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, its easier to combine career and family  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) When there is violence against any person in society, because he or she is different, it threatens us all. Only by speaking out are any of us safe  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Political success is often dependent on the ability to be heard above the din of controversy and debate and to set a course with one’s own compass  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) A desire to succeed in politics is propelled by these two seemingly contradictory forces, which frequently change places and sometimes coexist: to save others and to save oneself  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Like art, political action gives shape and expression to the things we fear as well as to those we desire. It is a creative process, drawing on the power to imagine as well as to act  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heart beat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes) Common wisdom dictates that the vice president should provide balance to the ticket by representing a different part of the country, another set of experiences, or a basketful of electoral votes  (Madeleine M Kunin Quotes)
