More From John F. Kerry

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the redeemer to change men’s lives. as he said to the dead lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” come forth from the despair of doubt. come forth from the sorrow of sin. come forth from the death of disbelief. come forth to a newness of life. come forth.
Men Doubt Sorrow
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.
Mean Opportunity Hands
Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are..... and there can be no love where love does not find equality or is not busy creating equality. nor is there any pleasure without equality. practice equality in human society. learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself. what happens to another, be it bad or good, pain or joy, ought to be as if it happened to you.
Pain Practice Creating
We are not a nation that says, 'don’t ask, don’t tell.' we are a nation that says, 'out of many, we are one.' we are a nation that welcomes the service of every patriot. we are a nation that believes that all men and women are created equal. those are the ideals that generations have fought for. those are the ideals that we upheld today.
Believe Men Generations
I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. this was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals.

Someone told me something recently about sarah palin, someone i trusted in the book business. they said, "i worked with palin. she did an event at my bookstore, and she was really, really nice, and even more beautiful in person." i didn't want to hear that. i wanted to hear that she was awful and hideous-looking. but i thought, i have to listen to that. i have to hear that. i don't want to be the one who is going to deny anything complimentary said about somebody just because i disagree with that person.
