More quotes by John F. Kerry
When I was in Vietnam I learned a lot about the promises that soldiers make to each other. The Marines have a promise to never leave behind their dead. In this country, as citizen soldiers, we need to make the commitment to each other that we will never leave our veterans behind.
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
You just don't invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests!
John F. Kerry
And if [Vladimir Putin] does fight ISIL alone, how does it work out for Russia to have sided with Assad, sided with Iran, sided with Hizballah, when they're trying to reach out to the rest of the Sunni world in the region? That's not a good equation for Russia.
John F. Kerry
We are not interested in a proxy war. Our objective is to change Russia's behavior.
John F. Kerry
We spent a fair amount of time on Ukraine. And I think there's a path that we discussed that we will follow up on in order to try to resolve some of the outstanding issues in order to fully implement Minsk.
John F. Kerry
My definition of patriotism is to defend your country with the truth, no matter the consequences.
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
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
I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did. I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium...
John F. Kerry
Jesus did not help just the sick who could afford to pay for it.
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
At every step of the way, George W. Bush has put the narrow interests of the few ahead of the interests of most Americans.
John F. Kerry
We were sent to Vietnam to kill Communism. But we found instead that we were killing women and children.
John F. Kerry
I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional America is.
John F. Kerry
As a public person, I've always tried to reflect what is embodied in our defining ideals as a nation about equality and fairness and justice and so forth.
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
In a few years, you should be able to plug your American-made plug-in hybrid into the outlet in your garage, so that you never use a drop of gas on your daily commute. This won't happen overnight, but I promise you, it is closer than you think.
John F. Kerry
I'm proud of my medals. I always was proud of them.
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
