More quotes by 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
Retreat might give us a moment of respite but years of repentance at our weakness would, I believe, follow.
Tony Blair
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.
Tony Blair
Climate change is probably the greatest long-term challenge facing the human race.
Tony Blair
How do we deal with not just the acts of violence, but the extremist ideology that lies behind them? Because though the numbers of fanatics that go and join and kill for a group like ISIS are measured in tens of thousands, those that support the wider ideology, I'm afraid, you measure in tens of millions or more.
Tony Blair
The first big choice: a government with the strength to deliver stability, or a government that takes the country back to boom and bust.
Tony Blair
Make the wrong choices now and future generations will live with a changed climate, depleted resources and without the green space and biodiversity that contribute both to our standard of living and our quality of life
Tony Blair
We fall for... the theories of betrayal very easily, and one of the things that's always depressed me about the left, ever since I started in politics, is their ability to imbibe the propaganda of the right and regurgitate it to the left.
Tony Blair
It's not that tens of millions of people all want to be violent. But they share the worldview that then, at its extreme, gives rise to the violence. And in my view, this is why this is such a global problem.
Tony Blair
Education, education, education
Tony Blair
The appalling details of the campaign of intimidation - which include grave-robbing - show the depths to which the animal extremists are prepared to stoop.
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
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
We've seen the reality of Saddam's regime: his thugs prepared to kill their own people, the parading of prisoners of war and now the release of those pictures of executed British soldiers.
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
The thing always is to go to where people really are and what they're really feeling about life.
Tony Blair
What we want to see is the development of human rights and greater democracy, not just because it is our system but because we think that's the best way that economic and political development go hand in hand.
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
When Europe and America stand together the world is a better and more prosperous place.
Tony Blair
