More quotes by Tony Blair
The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want to sacrifice its economy in order to meet this challenge.
Tony Blair
One thing I'm not sure of - and it's a very open question - is whether the type of politics that I represent really has had its day or not. Now I obviously believe passionately it hasn't, that it's still the answer and not the problem, and, you know, the evidence points both ways.
Tony Blair
I had no intention of returning into the British political debate, really at all, even though I've obviously got very strong views on it, until Brexit happened, because I think Brexit is a destiny-changing decision for my country.
Tony Blair
The British are special. The world knows it. In our innermost thoughts we know it. This is the greatest nation on earth.
Tony Blair
Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.
Tony Blair
There are millions of young children being educated to a very narrow-minded view of religion. And it's out of that education of large numbers of young people that you then get this extremism.
Tony Blair
It is not a sensible or intelligent response for us in Europe to ridicule American arguments and parody their political leadership.
Tony Blair
People should go about their daily lives, to work, to live, to travel, to shop, to do the things people did in the same way as they did them before 11 September.
Tony Blair
I say to the Taliban: surrender the terrorists or surrender power. It's your choice.
Tony Blair
Real integrity means an answer. It doesn't just mean - it doesn't mean riding the anger. And this is very difficult to do.
Tony Blair
The threat from Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological, potentially nuclear weapons capability - that threat is real.
Tony Blair
I think, there is a possibility - I would say it's more than that - that we will come to a view of foreign policy going forward that learns from the past but doesn't get captured by it.
Tony Blair
We promise that the events of 1991 will not happen again. We have pledged to remove Saddam. And we will deliver.
Tony Blair
Surely we have the wit and will to develop economically without despoiling the very environment we depend upon
Tony Blair
This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism.
Tony Blair
People divide into groups where they talk to each other, but don't talk across the divide. And yet most of the challenges we face in the world today are challenges that are to do with trade, with technology, with how you make sure that people are properly educated, reform your health care system.
Tony Blair
One of the most important things in politics is you've got to keep your mind infinitely curious and alive to what is happening differently.
Tony Blair
Saddam was a threat, that the threat had to be dealt with.
Tony Blair
There is no doubt that the time to act is now. It is now that timely action can avert disaster. It is now that with foresight and will such action can be taken without disturbing the essence of our way of life, by adjusting behaviour not altering it entirely.
Tony Blair
What I'm really more interested in doing - because I think, in a way that's kind of obvious - and you can see, look into Austria - you've got a far-right candidate who may become the president because he's in a close-run race.
Tony Blair
