More quotes by Boris Johnson
I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
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 is easy to make promises - it is hard work to keep them.
Boris Johnson
The Geiger-counter of Olympomania is going to go zoink off the scale.
Boris Johnson
My ideal world is, we're there, we're in the EU, trying to make it better.
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest.
Boris Johnson
When my father began his work in the 1970s it was a very different EU. I pay tribute to what he did. But it has now become a very different proposition: the United States of Europe.
Boris Johnson
We need to remember that we can't compete endlessly with other nations that set their income taxes substantially lower than ours. They will attract jobs, and investment. They may generate more tax - and they may even persuade their tennis champs to run that extra half yard
Boris Johnson
I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.
Boris Johnson
You are part of our Great British family.
Boris Johnson
I think it'd be disgraceful if a chap wasn't allowed to have a bit of fun in Las Vegas. The real scandal would be if you went to Vegas and you didn't misbehave in some trivial way.
Boris Johnson
The next Tory leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.
Boris Johnson
Yes, cannabis is dangerous, but no more than other perfectly legal drugs. It's time for a rethink, and the Tory party - the funkiest, most jiving party on Earth - is where it's happening.
