More quotes by Boris Johnson
When Cameron's Conservatives come to power it will be a golden age for cyclists and an Elysium of cycle lanes, bike racks, and sharia law for bike thieves. And I hope that cycling in London will become almost Chinese in its ubiquity.
Boris Johnson
It hasn't taken them long, they began by telling us they would have a positive and patriotic case and they're back to project fear within minutes. There they go again they have nothing positive to say.
Boris Johnson
Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books.
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
Boris Johnson
Can I say anything good about Ken Livingstone? A long time ago he did some good things, but I can't now remember what any of them were.
Boris Johnson
As a Scot Gordon Brown will find it hard to convince people in England he should be prime minister.
Boris Johnson
I love tennis with a passion. I challenged Boris Becker to a match once and he said he was up for it but he never called back. I bet I could make him run around.
Boris Johnson
London is a fantastic creator of jobs - but many of these jobs are going to people who don't originate in this country.
Boris Johnson
Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.
Boris Johnson
I want to offer particular congratulations to Andrea Leadsom on her stunning achievement. She is now well placed to win and replace the absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive, confident and optimistic approach, not just to Europe, but to government all round.
Boris Johnson
All the people I talk to, increasingly, can see that the emperor has got no clothes. The case for leaving [the EU] is now overwhelming.
