John Kerry

We have made it crystal clear that Iran is not open for business.

We are focused on getting them out.

The IMF is the tool that helps to bring countries into alignment on their transparency, their accountability.

I can guarantee you that in order to have a final agreement that will be comprehensive enough to meet our standards, the standards of our gulf friends, of Israel, of others, it is going to have to grow significantly beyond where it is…

Which is why sanctions probably played an instrumental role in that effort.

The President has already made it clear, I mean the G7 countries have made it clear that they are not thinking about going to Sochi under these circumstances and having a G8 meeting.

I want to be the Secretary who helps get this to be more effective within the department and more effective overall.

I just do not believe we will advance this cause by putting it wholly and totally into DHS or somewhere else.

You are the champion on this whole issue of children and adoption, and you have done amazing work at it.

We are watching, every day, very, very carefully, the movement of troops.

But we also make the judgment at this point that they don't have the assets in the places necessary to be able to, say, march in and take over all of Ukraine.

The question mark is, is Russia prepared to find a way to negotiate with Ukraine.

Telling our story where it matters most is vital to both the success of our businesses and the appeal of our values.

Ukraine's struggle for independence, particularly its financial independence, depends on Congress ratifying reforms.

What's impossible to calculate are the dangers in a world without American leadership and the vacuum that would create for extremists and ideologues to exploit.

Congress' support is going to be absolutely vital.

I want to help where I can. We will have some differences, but on behalf of the American people, thank you for being involved.

We do not need a Democratic foreign policy or a Republican foreign policy. We need an American foreign policy that is consistently rooted in our values and the example we set, and which we can credibly ask others to follow.

I would like to think that when it comes to foreign policy, Democrats and Republicans can learn from history and learn to speak with one voice for the sake of the United States and this great country.

I would want to be strongly listed on the side they should not be allowed to have that.

There is a lot of political dynamic at play in Turkey right now, and it is difficult in the middle of that to get all the focus that you might like to have on this kind of an issue and to resolve some of it.

There are too many people moving through, particularly in the eastern part and coming down to the northern part of Syria in the northeastern part.

I totally agree with that.

We are trying to come in with some development capacity, governance, leadership capacity, and creating the kind of force that could help to provide stability.

I think the total amount of our development money is some $20-point-some billion.
