More quotes by John F. Kerry
If Saddam Hussein is unwilling to bend to the international community's already existing order, then he will have invited enforcement, even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act.
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
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
Democrats proposing success in Iraq by political solution.
John F. Kerry
I'm not insensitive to the jobs. I'm desperately concerned about those jobs. But you don't fix them by pandering to people and telling them you're going to shut the door. You have to grow jobs.
John F. Kerry
I supported Israel 100 percent as a senator for 28 years and I've supported it 100 percent as Secretary of State.

Patriots don't go to Russia. They don't seek asylum in Cuba. They don't seek asylum in Venezuela. They fight their cause here. Edward Snowden is a coward. He is a traitor. And he has betrayed his country. And if he wants to come home tomorrow to face the music, he can do so.
John F. Kerry
You cannot bring peace in Syria as long as [Bashar] Assad is, in fact, there.
John F. Kerry
Great challenges confront our great nation. We seek to meet them by rising to the task, not by defining our country down.
John F. Kerry
I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important.
John F. Kerry
The problems of health care can be solved if we stop giving tax cuts to those who have the most, and start making health care affordable for those working harder and harder for too little.
John F. Kerry
We cannot continue to see the Middle East in the context of 9/11. We must see it in the context of 2011.
John F. Kerry
There's an agreement that Syria should be a unified country, united that it needs to be secular that ISIL needs to be taken on and that there needs to be a managed transition, but there is a difference obviously in what that means and what that outcome may or may not be.
John F. Kerry
You can't play sports without losing sometimes and, in losing, you learn something about grace and how to act under pressure.
John F. Kerry
Unlike George Bush and his friends at the big oil companies, I'm going to work for a real energy policy for this country that decreases America's dependence on foreign oil and helps lower the costs to American families.
John F. Kerry
A fundamental premise of politics is we can make this work if people just never figure it out.
John F. Kerry
What we Americans need to do is respect that incredible blessing that we have as a nation and make sure that we are leading in the best ways possible.
John F. Kerry
There the Bush Administration has offered only a merry-go-round policy. They got up on their high horse, whooped and hollered, rode around in circles and ended right back where they'd started.
John F. Kerry
I've been having problems with the right wing lately.
John F. Kerry
Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman.
