The top 10 most inspiring quotes by John F. Kelly

  • Unless confronted by an immediate, visible, or uncomfortable crisis, our nation’s tendency is to take the security of the Western Hemisphere for granted.
  • The comforting news for every American is that our men and women in uniform, and every Marine, is as good today as any in our history.
  • I’ve learned that, in many cases, people say, ‘I want ground truth,’ and they don’t really mean it. There are warts all over this organization, as there are in many organizations, but you just have to tell truth to power and let the chips fall where they may.
  • I’m pretty committed to the Constitution.
  • I think we could very easily suffer a seriously catastrophic cyber event.
  • Whether you’re a second lieutenant working with a captain and a lieutenant colonel, or a four-star general working with the Office Secretary of Defense and the White House, the decision makers have got to have ground truth. Otherwise, the decisions they make could be flawed – and that can be dangerous.
  • One day, you’ll get out of the Marine Corps; you’ll put your uniform up, but you’ll never not be a Marine.
  • We Marines believe that God gave America the greatest gift He could bestow to man while he lived on this earth -freedom. We also believe He gave us another gift nearly as precious – our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Marines – to safeguard that gift and guarantee no force on this earth can ever steal it away.
  • We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is ‘no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine.’ We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
  • Years ago, people didn’t wear seatbelts. Now, most people wouldn’t get in a car without putting a seatbelt on.
