More quotes by John F. Kerry
We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.
John F. Kerry
America now stands as the world's foremost power. We should be proud: Not since the age of the Romans have one people achieved such preeminence. But we are not Romans we do not seek an empire. We are Americans, trustees of a vision and a heritage that commit us to the values of democracy and the universal cause of human rights.
John F. Kerry
The oceans themselves are threatened and life itself, therefore, and the planet is threatened because of it.
John F. Kerry
I believe it is both unwise and even wrong to interfere in the affairs of other nations. Indeed, if we are honest, we will see that this is one of the reasons for 9-11.
John F. Kerry
Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President.
John F. Kerry
I mean, all of these things that [Bashar Assad] has done, there's no way even if President Obama wanted to just play along that you could actually achieve peace, because there are 65 million Sunni in between Baghdad and the border of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, who will never, ever again accept Assad as a member - as a legitimate leader.
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
We will not be derailed by criminal anarchists who legitimately claim a religious cause.
John F. Kerry
I just want to assure you that both President Bush and I have very firm alibis.
John F. Kerry
If Russia is there [in Syria] alone fighting them [ISIL], guess what? Russia becomes the target and Russia starts seeing - who knows - MANPADs will find their way in there, airplanes will fall out of the sky. They will become vilified. They'll become the new magnet, together with Assad, for the jihadis.
John F. Kerry
America deserves a real discussion about real policy.
John F. Kerry
No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats who did.
John F. Kerry
Democrats proposing success in Iraq by political solution.
John F. Kerry
I think that all of the cyber attacks that are taking place, but particularly this - the Russian one, had a profound impact on the American system, on our political process, on our - it invaded the space of our election. The releasing on a regular basis of one party's stolen emails had an impact, and I think that other things also had an impact.
John F. Kerry
You don't value families if you force them to take up a collection to buy body armor for a son or daughter in the service.
John F. Kerry
As President, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command.
John F. Kerry
These guys [Republicans] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen.
John F. Kerry
I think that our own crisis of democracy is in its own way affecting our ability to leverage in the same way that we used to in the world.
John F. Kerry
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real.
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
