More quotes by Gordon Brown
I did maths for a year at university. I don't think I was very good at it. And some people would say it shows.
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
Britain does not want a return to boom and bust.
Gordon Brown

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
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
I take full responsibility for what happened. That's why the person who was responsible went immediately.
Gordon Brown
Jubilee 2000 is a broad coalition which has moved the earth.
Gordon Brown
The IIFA Weekend has my unprecedented support. The relationship between India and the UK is long standing and one we would like to keep developing forever.
Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown
I said that this would be a Budget based on prudence for a purpose and that guides us also in our approach to public spending.
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
