More quotes by John McCain
I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.
John McCain
War is awful. Nothing, not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. War is wretched beyond description and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. Whatever is won in war, it is loss the veteran remembers.
John McCain
The American people want us to stop spending. And so let's just give them some certainty. Let's extend the tax - the existing tax cuts. And then let's give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence.
John McCain
They're all tied together: taxes, Medicare, Social Security, and the debt. We've got to have a setting of priorities, and looking at it - at each of them as disconnected, I think, doesn't properly address these major challenges.
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
Rogue states are the main threat to peace and freedom, and they require a strong, comprehensive policy response - a policy that I call 'rogue state rollback,' in which our goal is not simply to contain rogue regimes, but to drive them from power.
John McCain
I say to our enemies: We are coming. God may have mercy on you, but we won't
John McCain
Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that's a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace and it's got to be fixed.
John McCain
Being chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is like being a mosquito in a nudist colony.
John McCain
Cindy and I are adoptive parents. We know what a treasure and joy it is to have an adopted child in our lives.
John McCain
I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.
John McCain
The smartest person in the United States Senate, and he knows it, is John Sununu. Thank God he had his mother's temperament.
John McCain
War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.
John McCain
Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin. They know that she's a role model to women and other - and reformers all over America. She's a reformer.
John McCain
I think it's an urgent plea for us all to sit down together.
John McCain
We got results that would not have been possible without a negotiating partner like Joe Biden.
John McCain
Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar, and for our Qatari friends.
John McCain
There are 11 million people living in the shadows. I believe they deserve to come out of the shadows. The children who are brought here when they were children, they deserve that kind of consideration as well.
John McCain
My hero is a guy named Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt used to say, walk softly, talk softly but carry a big stick.
John McCain
You cannot tell the enemy you're going to leave and expect the enemy to not - and expect to succeed. I mean, that's just a fundamental of warfare.
