More quotes by John F. Kerry
I think there has been an exaggeration [of the terrorist threat].
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
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
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
I look forward to standing up and holding George Bush accountable for pushing seniors off of Medicare into HMOs.
John F. Kerry
We need a new approach to national security - a bold, progressive internationalism that stands in stark contrast to the too often belligerent and myopic unilateralism of the Bush Administration.
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
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
America is the one that has led the effort to strengthen NATO and strengthen the front-line states against Russia's pressures.
John F. Kerry
America has everything most countries envy. A Constitution which is the treasure of mankind, a strong military, natural resources of every kind. Above all, as Tocqueville said, a good people, which is what makes us great.
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
Even as a supporter of Roe v. Wade, I am compelled to acknowledge that the language both sides use on this subject can be unfortunately misleading and unconstructive.... Everyone is worse off for it.
John F. Kerry
I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty.
John F. Kerry
If the threat is jihadism - and it is - and the threat is the destruction of Syria so that all of these refugees are swamping into Europe and changing the whole character and politics of Europe, this is the time to unite to find a way out.
John F. Kerry
Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman.
John F. Kerry
There is a much cheaper way, less complicated way to bring Iraq and Saddam Hussein to its knees: it is simply to send the Bush economic team over there and let them run the country.
John F. Kerry
I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional America is.
John F. Kerry
I am not a spokesperson for the church and the church is not a spokesperson for the United States of America.
John F. Kerry
American soldiers [are] going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the ñ of ñ the historical customs, religious customs.
John F. Kerry
The agreement is fundamentally that we want to try to resolve this. The agreement is that ISIL is a threat to everybody, and we need to come together to find a way to fight ISIL. The agreement is that we want to save Syria, keep it unified, keep it secular. So surely in those very fundamental principles on which we could agree.
John F. Kerry
