10 Inspirational Quotes by Queen Rania of Jordan

  1. In education, technology can be a life-changer, a game changer, for kids who are both in school and out of school. Technology can bring textbooks to life. The Internet can connect students to their peers in other parts of the world. It can bridge the quality gaps.
  2. At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It’s really your essence and your values that are important.
  3. We shouldn’t judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes.
  4. People sometimes think of ‘queen’ as a title that’s shrouded with protocol and formality, and for that reason sometimes people are not easily saying what they want to say. They’re reluctant to express their opinions, and I kind of find that frustrating because I want to know what people really, really think.
  5. I believe that if we want our children to understand the world beyond their classroom, we must bring the world into their classroom.
  6. Role models can inspire. Campaigns can motivate. But if we want all girls everywhere to rise up, then we must find them, befriend them and support them.
  7. I’d rather be dealt with as a person than a persona.
  8. Being queen is overrated.
  9. We’re programmed to believe that time is the enemy, that it takes away from us or that it diminishes us. I have found that it’s done the opposite to me. Life is in perfect balance. It’s just that our perception of it isn’t.
  10. We always say Jordan is not rich in natural resources – we don’t have oil or gas like some of our neighbors do – but I think in terms of human resources, we are quite lucky and we are really trying to foster an environment of innovation and technology. I think Jordan will emerge as a center of innovation in the Middle East.
