More quotes by John McCain
The way you have bipartisan negotiations, you sit down across the table, as we did with Ted Kennedy, as I've done with many other members, and you say, 'OK, here's what I want, here's what you want. We'll adhere to your principles, but we'll make concessions.'
John McCain
We know that this nation entered into solemn treaties [with Indian tribes] which have been continuously violated for more than 250 years. It's a disgrace. It's an outrage. We must do everything in our power to keep those treaties. Otherwise, the word of the United States government is no good.
John McCain
We are taught to understand, correctly, that courage is not the absence of fear, but the capacity for action despite our fears.
John McCain
I appreciate our government's determination to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the Bytyqi brothers, which Serbia's Interior Minister has rightly called 'an exceptionally serious crime,' and hope the Serbian government's pledge of full cooperation... is matched by a final accounting of their murder.
John McCain

John McCain
But I'm still a work in progress. My mother calls me quite frequently with various critiques of my performance on TV and other public events. She's usually pretty severe with her comments.
John McCain
It's always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.
John McCain
I think my major challenge, very frankly, is to maintain the traction, ... I've seen many campaigns here in the state of New Hampshire look good for a while, and then the air comes out of the balloon.
John McCain
Americans want to win bin Laden thinks he's winning now.
John McCain
I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.
John McCain
America is the greatest force for good in the history of the world.
John McCain
There's one big difference between me and the others - I won't take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy. I'll use the bulk of the surplus to secure Social Security far into the future to keep our promise to the greatest generation.
John McCain
We will have to wait a little longer to see if Armageddon has arrived.
John McCain
I guarantee you, as president of the United States, I know how to heal the wounds of war, I know how to deal with our adversaries, and I know how to deal with our friends.
John McCain
I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of tax cuts, irrespective of their size, or to which segment of the population they are targeted. Nor can I support any spending increases that are not related to improving our nation's defense from the obvious and serious threats facing us today.
John McCain
We should exhibit no self doubt to our friends, ... Credibility is a strategic asset.
John McCain
...Sound foreign policy is more than arms control, foreign aid and paying (United Nations) dues.
