More quotes by John Howard
I thank all of those who weren't born in this country for coming here and making a contribution to Australia. We are the least discriminatory country in the world, in my view.
John Howard
For so long as we condone injustice by a small but powerful group, we condone the destruction of all social stability, all real peace, all trust in man's good intentions toward his fellow man.
John Howard
You are not prime minister of Australia because of some kind of process of divine selection. You are prime minister of Australia through the gift of the Australian people.
John Howard
How can you render the duties of justice to men when they may destroy you?
John Howard
The most important civil liberty... is to stay alive and to be free from violence and death.
John Howard
Sport is an important part of the Australian psyche. Anybody who thinks that sport is not part of the fabric of Australian life misunderstands this country quite dramatically.
John Howard
Nobody should claim that the war [in Iraq] is over. But certainly it can be said that the regime is finished.
John Howard
Nobody should underestimate how much the world changed on the 11th of September 2001.
John Howard
I'm not running away from the fact that I had previously said I did not contemplate a major increase, and that was a fair statement of the Government's state of mind at the time I made that.
John Howard
I don't think it is wrong, racist, immoral or anything, for a country to say 'we will decide what the cultural identity and the cultural destiny of this country will be and nobody else'.
John Howard
When the term Christian or even Protestant is used, it seldom refers to any particularly evangelical doctrine or way of life. More often it refers to a religion accepted by the large majority, which assures them that God is not so much a Lord who demands obedience as a handyman who is available whenever we need help.
John Howard
It's beyond belief that any Australian could be so stupid as to carry drugs into any country in Asia.
John Howard
I accept that in a free society you have to justify reductions in people's liberties. I accept that, bearing in mind my starting point is that the most important human right is the right to life.
John Howard
I have absolutely no difficulty myself with the playing of God Save the Queen in the presence of Her Majesty.
John Howard
We won't just automatically click our heels and follow the Americans.
John Howard
It's too much to expect in an academic setting that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility.
John Howard
If I am wrong and you are right then the democratic process of the Australian community will vindicate you and condemn me.
John Howard
They might be a good friend, but they are also a bitter commercial rival. Let's not kid ourselves.. The American wheat industry has done everything it possibly can to criticize the Australian wheat industry in order to take the Iraqi wheat market from us.
John Howard
This is appalling. The idea that a person could be punished because of their religious belief and the idea they might be executed is just beyond belief.
John Howard
