More quotes by 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
My definition of patriotism is to defend your country with the truth, no matter the consequences.
John F. Kerry
George Bush's vision does not live up to the America I enlisted in the Navy to defend, the America I have fought for in the Senate, and the America that I hope to lead as president.
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
It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote.
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
What we do right now, today, matters.
John F. Kerry
I'm going to be honest with you - I don't know a lot about Cuba's healthcare system. Is it a government-run system?
John F. Kerry
Here I am in the state of New Mexico. George Bush is still in the state of denial. New Mexico has five electoral votes. The state of denial has none. I like my chances.
John F. Kerry
These guys [Republicans] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen.
John F. Kerry
We are not interested in a proxy war. Our objective is to change Russia's behavior.
John F. Kerry
Remember the hours after Sept. 11 when we came together as one...It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.
John F. Kerry
Palestinians need to stop the incitement. They need to stop that kind of activity. But at the same time, there is a need to see the broader conflict here and understand that there has to be some kind of ultimately negotiated political track that's going to resolve the difference between Palestinians and Israelis.
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.
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
I had a chance to talk with President [Vladimir] Putin and he clearly said to me very directly, I will think about that. I will think about this challenge of how we win. Look, this is not easy for Putin. Everybody says, Oh, Putin's made a big move. Well, Putin is [in Syria] now and if he wants to fight ISIL alone, that's a challenge, folks
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
It's hard to believe that in the greatest democracy in the world, we need legislation to prevent the government from writing and paying for the news.
John F. Kerry
How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?
John F. Kerry
I have a plan to protect the environment so that we leave this place in better shape to our children than we were handed it by our parents.
