Tony Blair
Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny democracy, not dictatorship the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.
Tony Blair

Tony Blair
The free enterprise system has not failed the financial system has failed.
Tony Blair
I shall not rest until, once again, the destinies of our people and our party are joined together again in victory at the next general election Labour in its rightful place in government again.
Tony Blair
Enough of talking: It is time now to do.
Tony Blair
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
Tony Blair
Fanaticism is not a state of religion but a state of mind.
Tony Blair
Surely we have the wit and will to develop economically without despoiling the very environment we depend upon
Tony Blair
I'm an avowed centrist, and I believe that - centrism is often - it's almost the wrong word to use, because it's often seen as sort of splitting the difference between right and left.
Tony Blair
