WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a transcript of remarks by the President and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at Secretary Rice's swearing-in ceremony:
U.S. Department of State
9:58 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for coming. Laura and I are honored to be here. Over the past four years, America has benefited from the wise counsel of Dr. Condoleezza Rice and our family has been enriched by our friendship with this remarkable person. We love her -- I don't know if you're supposed to say that about the Secretary of State. (Laughter.)
Condi's appointment and confirmation of Secretary of State marks a remarkable transition in what is already a career of outstanding service and accomplishment.
Today also marks an opportunity to honor another career defined by service and accomplishment. Throughout a lifetime spent in public service, Colin Powell has asked nothing in return. For over four decades, millions at home and abroad have benefited from his bravery, his dignity and his integrity. He's left our nation a better place than it was when he began his career in public service as a second lieutenant in the United States Army. His magnificent wife, Alma, I am certain is pleased that a grateful nation is giving back her husband -- (laughter) -- and all of us admire and appreciate the service of Colin Powell. (Applause.)
I appreciate the fact that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg administered the oath. It was neighborly of her to do that. (Laughter.) I want to thank Congresswoman Jane Harman from California for joining us, as well as Juanita Millender-McDonald from California. We're honored you both are here. Thanks for taking time to honor your fellow Californian, Condi Rice. (Applause.)
I see sitting between you two is a fine American in Andrew Young. Welcome, Andy. Thank you for coming. I shouldn't start going around the room, heralding all the -- (laughter) -- accomplished souls who are here. I do want to thank members of the diplomatic corps for coming. I appreciate Your Excellencies taking time to honor Condi. I want to thank the distinguished guests and members -- folks who work at the State Department for joining us, as well. It's a good thing to come and honor your new boss. (Laughter.) Good diplomacy. (Laughter.)
Colin Powell leaves big shoes to fill at the State Department, but Condi Rice is the right person to fill them. As National Security Advisor, she has led during a time when events not of our choosing have forced America to the leading edge of history. Condi has an abiding belief in the power of democracy to secure justice and liberty, and the inclusion of men and women of all races and religions in the courses that free nations chart for themselves.
A few days from now, these convictions will be confirmed by the Iraqi people, when they cast their ballots in Iraq's first free elections in generations. Sunday's election is the first step in a process that will allow Iraqis to write and pass a constitution that enshrines self-government and the rule of law. This history is changing the world, because the advent of democracy in Iraq will serve as a powerful example to reformers throughout the entire Middle East. On Sunday, the Iraqi people will be joining millions in others parts of the world who now decide their future through free votes.
In Afghanistan, the people have voted in the first free presidential elections in that nation's 5,000-year history. The people of Ukraine have made clear their own desire for democracy. The Palestinians have just elected a new President who has repudiated violence. Freedom is on the march, and the world is better for it. (Applause.) Widespread hatred and radicalism cannot survive the advent of freedom and self-government. Our nation will be more secure, the world will be more peaceful, as freedom advances. Condi Rice understands that.
And the terrorists understand that, as well. And that is why they are now attacking Iraqi civilians in an effort to sabotage elections. We applaud the courage of ordinary Iraqis for their refusal to surrender their future to these killers.
No nation can build a safer and better world alone. The men and women of the State Department are doing a fine job of working with other nations to build on the momentum of freedom. I know our nation will be really well served when the good folks at the State Department join with Condi Rice to face the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. In the coming months and years, we must stop the proliferation of dangerous weapons and materials. We must safeguard and expand the freedom of international marketplace and free trade. We must advance justice and fundamental human rights. We must fight HIV/AIDS and other diseases and reduce poverty.
Each task will require good relations with nations around the world, and each will require a Secretary who will lead by character and conviction and wisdom. To meet these times and tasks, America has its best in Dr. Condoleezza Rice, now Secretary Condoleezza Rice, our 66th Secretary of State. (Applause.)
SECRETARY RICE: Thank you, Mr. President, for those wonderful remarks. I want to thank also First Lady Laura Bush. The President and Mrs. Bush have been really a strong support system for me here and good friends, and I want to thank you for that.
I want to thank the members of my family and my friends who are here -- a number are here from Birmingham, Alabama, and they represent generations of Rices and Rays, who believed that a day like this might somehow be possible.
I'm honored by your confidence in me, Mr. President, and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity you've given me to serve as this country's 66th Secretary of State.
Let me say, too, in echoing the President's comments, that I'm, indeed, fortunate to succeed a man of the character and quality of Colin Powell, who served with such distinction, who's done so much to strengthen the State Department, so much to carry forward America's message and goals and so much to help me, personally, in so many ways.
In the past four years, America has seen great trials and great opportunities. Under your leadership, Mr. President, our nation has risen to meet the challenges of our time, fighting tyranny and terror and securing the blessings of freedom and prosperity for a new generation.
Now it's time to build on those achievements to make the world safer and even more free. We must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power that favors freedom. The time for diplomacy is now. Standing for the cause of liberty is as old as our country itself. Indeed, it was our very first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, who said, "The God who gave us live, gave us liberty at the same time." America's story is the story of men and women ceaselessly striving to ensure that we as a nation live up to the ideals set forth by our forefathers. Our founders realized that they, like all human beings, were flawed creatures, and that any government created by man would not be perfect. Even the great authors of our liberty sometimes fell short of their ideals -- even Thomas Jefferson, himself. Yet, our forebears established a democratic system of, by and for the people that contained within it the means for citizens and -- of conviction and of courage to correct its flaws.
The enduring principles enshrined in our Constitution made it possible for impatient patriots -- like Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King -- to move us ever closer to our founding ideals. And so it is only natural that through the decades America would associate itself with those around the world who also strive to secure freedom for themselves and for their children.
September 11, 2001, made us see more clearly than ever how our values and our interests are linked and joined across the globe. That day of fire made us see that the best way to secure a world of peace and hope is to build a world of freedom. We do not simply seek the absence of terrorism. We seek a world where the aspirations for freedom of men and women triumph. Today, it is more fitting than ever that our nation should pursue a foreign policy that is grounded in democratic principles and aligns itself with the efforts of all those around the globe who share our love of liberty.
In all that lies ahead, the primary instrument of American diplomacy will be the Department of State, and the dedicated men and women of its foreign and civil services and our foreign service nationals. More than half a century ago, Dean Acheson and his officers stood present at the creation, in helping President Truman secure a world half free, while hoping that there would one day be a world fully free.
Mr. President, here with us today are some of the newest members of the State Department. The young officers here today are present at the transformation. And they will carry forward long into the future the work that we are undertaking to realize your vision of a world where all people live in freedom.
Under your leadership, Mr. President, we at the Department of State will conduct a foreign policy that sees the world clearly as it is. But, Mr. President, we will not accept that today's reality has to be tomorrow's. We will work in partnership with allies and reformers across the globe, putting the tools of diplomacy to work to unite, strengthen and widen the community of democracies.
We fully recognize that the hard work of freedom is the task of generations. Yet, it is also the urgent work that cannot be deferred. And, ultimately, the impatient souls all around the world who struggle and stumble and rise again to take up freedom's cause will succeed -- for the great mover of history is the power of the human spirit.
Mr. President, you have given us our mission, and we are ready to serve our great country and the cause of freedom for which it stands.
Thank you. (Applause.)

I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur

every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
Elizabeth Lemarchand:
A black cat dropped soundlessly from a high wall, like a spoonful of dark

miraculous cat!

Friendship between cats can exist, but more or less in the same way that it

If a cat is creeping up on prey and realizes that another cat is watching,
it will straighten up and act disinterested.

honor when one decides to let you into their world with a rub against the

Abraham Lincoln:
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
I care not for a man's religion whose dog or cat is not the better for it.
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a
whole human being.

It's too dangerous a journey to risk the cat's life.
[Explaining why his kitten, Patsy, didn't accompany him on his
legendary transatlantic flight.]
Pierre Loti:
Cats are possessed of a shy, retiring nature, cajoling, haughty, and
capricious, difficult to fathom. They reveal themselves only to certain
favored individuals, and are repelled by the faintest suggestion of insult
or even by the most trifling deception.
Sharon Lundblad:
A cat is a very special friend who comes into your life. When it comes it
brings warmth, companionship, contentment and love. Whether it's long-haired
short-haired, pedigreed or "heinz" makes no difference.
A cat, though independent, has a way of letting you know that without you
life just wouldn't be worthwhile.
If you're lucky enough to own a cat consider yourself one of life's winners
because when you have a cat around you'll never be lonely; the sound of its
purr will give you comfort, and as you hold it and pet it, stress will slip
away.
John D. MacDonald:
If a cat can detect no self-advantage in what it is being told to do, it
says the hell with it, and, if pressure is brought to bear, it will grow
increasingly surly and irritable to the point where it is hopeless to
continue.
Larry Madrid:
If you put down food and the cat eats, it's hungry. If it doesn't, it isn't.
Steve Martin:
I gave my cat a bath the other day. He just sat there. Actually, I think he
enjoyed it. It wasn't very fun for me, though. The fur kind of stuck to my
tongue.
Groucho Marx:
A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
James Mason:
Cats do not have to be show how to have a good time, for they are unfailing
ingenious in that respect.
Donna McCrohan:
A cat can purr its way out of anything.
Rod McKuen:
There has never been a cat
Who couldn't calm me down
By walking slowly
Past my chair
Stuart McMillan:
A meow massages the heart.
Patricia McPherson:
I think it would be great to be a cat! You come and go as you please. People
always feed and pet you. They don't expect much of you. You can play with
them, and when you've had enough, you go away. You can pick and choose who
you want to be around. You can't ask for more than that.
Ernest Menual:
The cat has too much spirit to have no heart.
These furry buggers are just deep, deep wells you throw all you emotions
into.
Fernand Mery:
With the qualities of cleanliness, affection, patience, dignity, and courage
that cats have, how many of us, I ask you, would be capable of becoming
cats?
God made the cat in order that man might have the pleasure of caressing the
lion.
Leonard Michaels:
Looking at a cat, like looking at clouds or stars or the ocean, makes it
difficult to believe there is nothing miraculous in this world.
Bette Midler:
Cats always seem so very wise, when staring with their half-closed eyes. Can
they be thinking, "I'll be nice, and maybe she will feed me twice"?
George Mikes:
You can keep a dog; but it is the cat who keeps people, because cats find
humans useful domestic animals.
A dog will flatter you but you have to flatter the cat.
Susanne Millen:
Only cat lovers know the luxury of fur-coated, musical hot water bottles
that never go cold.
Jacquelyn Mitchard:
Cats regard people as warmblooded furniture.
St. George Mivart:
We cannot without becoming cats, perfectly understand the cat mind.
The smart cat doesn't let on that he is.
Harold Monro:
When the tea is brought at five o'clock
And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
The little black cat with bright green eyes
Is suddenly purring there.
Lady Sydney Morgan:
The playful kitten with its pretty little tigerish gambole is infinitely
more amusing than half the people one is obliged to live with in the world.
Morris the Cat:
Personally, I don't believe felines are a fad. We're here to stay.
Desmond Morris:
Artists like cats; soldiers like dogs.
Wright Morris:
Cats don't belong to people. They belong to places.
Penny Ward Moser:
When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their
mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get
even.
Ogden Nash:
The trouble with a Kitten is that,
Eventually it becomes a Cat!
Beverly Nichols:
Most of us rather like our cats to have a streak of wickedness. I should not
feel quite easy in the company of any cat that walked about the house with a
saintly expression.
John S. Nichols:
Cats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit.
Hazel Nicholson:
A cat is a puzzle for which there is no solution.
Some people say man is the most dangerous animal on the planet. Obviously
those people have never met an angry cat.
Michael Jordan:
Cats keep their cool, no matter what. Even when they do things like fall or
lose their balance, they'll walk away with an attitude that seems to say, 'I
meant to do that.'
Michael Joseph:
Is it yet another survival of jungle instinct, this hiding away from prying
eyes at important times? Or merely a gesture of independence, a challenge to
man and his stupid ways?
Garrison Keilor:
Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.
Hank Ketchum:
Meow is like aloha - it can mean anything.
Rudyard Kipling:
The Woman laughed and said, "You are the Cat who walks by himself, and all
places are alike to you. You are neither a friend nor a servant. You have
sait it yourself. Go away and walk by yourself in all places alike."
Then Cat pretended to be sorry and said, "Must I never come into the Cave?
Must I never sit by the warm fire? Must I never drink the warm white milk?
You are very wise and beautiful. You should not be cruel even to a Cat."
Rob Kopack:
If cats could talk, they would lie to you.
Joseph Wood Krutch:
Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many
ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what
you want.
William Kunstler:
A dog is like a liberal. He wants to please everybody. A cat doesn't need to
know that everybody loves him.
Dilys Laing:
I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur
as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue. Cat, I would lend you
this book to study but it appears you have already read it. She looks up and
gives me her full gaze. Don't be ridiculous, she purrs, I wrote it.
William S. Landor:
Cats, like men, are flatters.
Andrew Lang:
Of all animals, the cat alone attains to the comtemplative life. He regards
the wheel of existence from without, like the Buddha.
Doug Larson:
The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to
admitting it.
Jay Leno:
I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't
listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night,
and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words,
every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
Elizabeth Lemarchand:
A black cat dropped soundlessly from a high wall, like a spoonful of dark
treacle, and melted under a gate.
Doris Lessing:
If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then a cat is a
diagram and pattern of subtle air.
Oh, cat; I'd say, or pray: be-ooootiful cat!Delicious cat! Exquisite cat!
Satiny cat! Cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jeweled cat,
miraculous cat!
Paul Leyhausen:
Friendship between cats can exist, but more or less in the same way that it
can exist for a not very sociable man who spends his time in proviking
others, and who, when asked why he does not have any friends, replies: "I
would like to have them - but they are so ignoble!"
If a cat is creeping up on prey and realizes that another cat is watching,
it will straighten up and act disinterested.
Tina Lifford:
I love how independent and self-contained they are. I always feel it's an
honor when one decides to let you into their world with a rub against the
leg or a quick jump into your lap.
Abraham Lincoln:
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
I care not for a man's religion whose dog or cat is not the better for it.
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a
whole human being.
Charles Lindbergh:
It's too dangerous a journey to risk the cat's life.
[Explaining why his kitten, Patsy, didn't accompany him on his
legendary transatlantic flight.]
