More quotes by 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
So we can do a better job of homeland security. I can do a better job of waging a smarter, more effective war on terror and guarantee that we will go after the terrorists. I will hunt them down, and we'll kill them, we'll capture them. We'll do whatever is necessary to be safe.
John F. Kerry
When the nations of the world look upon the United States, they see a country which has achieved what they would all like to become one day. Whether it is in the field of science, art, music, agriculture, politics, economics or war, the United States is the leader.
John F. Kerry
If you think I would have gone to war the way George Bush did, don't vote for me.
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
Values spoken without actions taken are merely slogans.
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
We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or truth or what's happening.
John F. Kerry
I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.
John F. Kerry
In order to have the best intelligence in the world to know who the terrorists are and where they are and what they're plotting, you've got to have the best cooperation you've ever had in the world.
John F. Kerry
Jesus did not help just the sick who could afford to pay for it.
John F. Kerry
I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty.
John F. Kerry
What we need to do is raise the minimum wage. We also need to hold onto equal pay. Women work for 76 cents on the dollar for the same work that men do. That's not right in America.
John F. Kerry
Politics has always been the art of the possible. Today it's too often the art of the probable - tinkering around the edges without any greater vision, without a sense of optimism and imagination.
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
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
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
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
That is what Americans do. We face a challenge - no matter how great - because we know that on the other side there is always hope.
John F. Kerry
I know something about aircraft carriers for real.
John F. Kerry
