More quotes by 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
The crucial thing is to look in an informed way at what's going on. Look at the way in which we are forced by our imbalanced system to push away people who might contribute mightily to the NHS.
Boris Johnson
I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
Boris Johnson
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.

My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
I think it's absolutely amazing and how the Remain side have the cheek to come and tell us that we improve our security by staying in this organisation I do not understand.

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
You are part of our Great British family.
Boris Johnson
Our friends in America will be at the front of the queue for trade deals.
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
I cant remember what my line on drugs is. Whats my line on drugs?
Boris Johnson
I'm afraid Sadiq Khan is completely wrong. The European Court of Justice is the supreme legal authority in our country.
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.
Boris Johnson
He is like some sherry-crazed old dowager who has lost the family silver at roulette, and who now decides to double up by betting the house as well.
Boris Johnson
My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it.
Boris Johnson
Do you seriously propose that they are going to be so insane as to allow tariffs to be imposed. The EU is, I'm afraid a job destroying engine. You can see it all across southern Europe, you can see it, alas, in our country.
Boris Johnson
Humanity would have plunged into a new dark age of absolutely frightening and appalling characteristics without Churchill.
