More quotes by Tony Blair
When Europe and America stand together the world is a better and more prosperous place.
Tony Blair
I think everyone's had their pound of flesh and now it's time to move on.
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
The relationship between Britain and the US is fantastically important when confronting terrorism.
Tony Blair
We can debate this or that aspect of climate change, but the reality is that most people now accept our climate is indeed subject to change as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.
Tony Blair
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.
Tony Blair
I always say, when they ask me about American politics, is for you guys to decide who you elect.
Tony Blair
There's a great frustration with the system. There's a lot of anger out there. But in the end, you need answers and not just anger. But anyway, let me not trespass too much into your politics. I've got enough problems in my own politics.
Tony Blair
Now, again, what the center ground has got to do is to respond to people's genuine concerns and fears.
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
I want to see a publicly-owned railway, publicly accountable.
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
Every so often, I feel I should graduate to classical music, properly. But the truth is, I'm more likely to listen to rock music.
Tony Blair
You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel both a sense of responsibility and a deep sadness for those who have lost their lives.
Tony Blair
Yes, I did have to struggle very hard to get this [the vote on the Iraq war] through, but the reason I did it was because I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't take this on myself... just because I thought, 'Let's give myself a really hard time for a couple of years!'
Tony Blair
When my parents were growing up the world's population was under three billion. During my children's lifetime, it is likely to exceed nine billion. You don't need to be an expert to realise that sustainable development is going to become the greatest challenge we face this century
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 couldn't live with myself if I thought that these big strategic choices for my generation were there, and I wasn't even making them - or I was making them according to what was expedient rather than what I actually thought was right.
Tony Blair
Leaders lead but in the end it's the people who deliver.
Tony Blair
Lord Cranborne told the leader of the opposition to 'back me or sack me' - he succeeded in doing both.
