More quotes by Tony Blair
Sometimes and in particular dealing with a dictator, the only chance of peace is a readiness for war.
Tony Blair
The purpose of terrorism lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which they then use to justify further terror.
Tony Blair
I had discovered long ago the first lesson of political courage: to think anew. I had then learned the second: to be prepared to lead and to decide. I was now studying the third: how to take the calculated risk. I was going to alienate some people, like it or not. The moment you decide, you divide.
Tony Blair
Saddam Hussein's regime is despicable, he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked. He is a threat to his own people and to the region and, if allowed to develop these weapons, a threat to us also.
Tony Blair
Some may belittle politics, but we know - who are engaged in it - that it is where people stand tall. And, although I know it has its many harsh contentions, it is still the arena that sets the heart beating a little faster. And if it is, on occasions, the place of low skulduggery, it is more often the place for the pursuit of noble causes.
Tony Blair
I think people think their incomes have been flat lining for a long period of time. They feel that the next generation's opportunities are not going to be improvement. So and I also think that social media then allows insurgent movements to gain scale at speed.
Tony Blair
I am a pretty straight sort of guy.
Tony Blair
I think Hillary Clinton is an outstandingly capable and decent person.
Tony Blair
The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace, if not always diplomatically.
Tony Blair
No one is to blame for the breakdown in trust between politics, media and the public.
Tony Blair
Bill Clinton has been a true leader of the western world. He has been a friend and a counsel to me and other leaders right around the world.
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
I haven't got the time to sit here arguing with someone whose idea of a coherent foreign policy is what comes up in Google when you type in peace!
Tony Blair
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Tony Blair
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
Tony Blair
Our ultimate weapon is not our guns but our beliefs...The spread of freedom is the best security for the free. It is our last line of defense and our first line of attack.
Tony Blair
Today the impulse towards interdependence is immeasurably greater. We are witnessing the beginnings of a new doctrine of international community.
Tony Blair
I still think there is a residual desire amongst the majority of the public to be given a proper solution.
Tony Blair
That's the art of leadership. To make sure that what shouldn't happen, doesn't happen.
Tony Blair
Saddam was a threat, that the threat had to be dealt with.
Tony Blair
