More quotes by Gordon Brown
The next election will be a flyweight versus a heavyweight. However much the right hon. Gentleman [David Cameron] may dance around the ring beforehand, at some point, he will come within the reach of a big clunking fist...
Gordon Brown
Sometimes it takes a crisis for people to agree that what is obvious and should have been done years ago, can no longer be postponed. We must create a new international financial architecture for the global age.
Gordon Brown
We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and the poorest countries based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture, so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.

Gordon Brown
Our approach is to reject the old vicious circle of the '80s-rising debt, higher long-term interest rates, higher debt repayment costs, lower growth, higher unemployment, then enforced cuts in public spending. That was the old boom and bust.
Gordon Brown
I take full responsibility for what happened. That's why the person who was responsible went immediately.
Gordon Brown
When the strong help the weak, it makes us all stronger
Gordon Brown
No one should be held back from realising their potential by fears that they will not be able to afford to go to university or that they will graduate with unmanageable levels of debt.
Gordon Brown
...in just 25 years the glaciers in the Himalayas which provide water for three-quarters of a billion people could disappear entirely.
Gordon Brown
I hope the Spice Girls will come back, although it may be beyond even Bob Geldof to get that to happen.
Gordon Brown
What has become clear is that Britain cannot trust the Conservatives to run the economy. Everyone knows that I'm all in favour of apprenticeships, but let me tell you this is no time for a novice.
Gordon Brown
I will listen and I will learn. I will strive to meet people's aspirations. I want to lead a government humble enough to know its place - where I will always strive to be - and that is on people's side.
Gordon Brown
What is gained by debt relief and aid can be lost if we don't get a proper trade agreement in Hong Kong.
Gordon Brown
In the weeks and months ahead, my task is to show I have the new ideas, the vision and the experience to earn the trust of the British people.
