Tony Blair
The world is a better place with Saddam in prison not in power.
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
I'm the f***ing Prime Minister!
Tony Blair
I want my son to grow up in a place where the people are more powerful than the government and not the other way around.
Tony Blair
