More quotes by John F. Kerry
Democrats proposing success in Iraq by political solution.
John F. Kerry
What is happening is policy in Israel is being driven by the settlers who don't support a two-state solution, who want their settlements to prevent the possibility of two states. They openly say that.
John F. Kerry
I do think that it's really important for leaders of countries to be very clear and careful in the statements they make because their words are weighed extremely carefully by other countries, and you have to create a continuity of seriousness and of credibility in order to be able to be taken seriously and get things done.
John F. Kerry
I know something about killing. I don't like killing. And I don't think a state honors life by turning around and sanctioning killing.
John F. Kerry
We have to recognize that there is a strong, fresh wind blowing, powered by these new information technologies. It will be increasingly difficult for dictators to impose their will through sheer brutality.
John F. Kerry

John F. Kerry
I'm not going to put my energy into focusing on things that are hypothetical that we don't know.
John F. Kerry
I think there has been an exaggeration [of the terrorist threat].
John F. Kerry
It's likely that people will say we're all interested in destroying - ISIL is a threat to everybody. There isn't one country in the region that doesn't despise what ISIL stands for and is doing and that doesn't want to eliminate them.
John F. Kerry
I believe America is safest and strongest when we are leading the world and we are leading strong alliances.
John F. Kerry
War on terror is far less of a military operation and far more of an intelligence-gathering, law-enforcement operation.
John F. Kerry
I just want to assure you that both President Bush and I have very firm alibis.
John F. Kerry
It's the [George Bush] president's fiscal policies that have driven up the biggest deficits in American history. He's added more debt to the debt of the United States in four years than all the way from George Washington to Ronald Reagan put together.
John F. Kerry
Our purpose now is to reclaim democracy itself. We are here to affirm that when Americans stand up and speak their minds and say America can do better, that is not a challenge to patriotism it is the heart and soul of patriotism.
John F. Kerry
What we do right now, today, matters.
John F. Kerry
Nobody's interests are served by what's happening in Syria today. It's a catastrophe. It's the worst human catastrophe since World War II. And, as I said just now, it represents a failure of the entire international community to come to grips with solving it.
John F. Kerry
America is the one that leads the effort to make sure the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea is protected.
John F. Kerry
As President, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command.
John F. Kerry
