More quotes by Tony Blair
After the terrible events of last week, there is still the shock and disbelief there is anger there is fear but there is also, throughout the world, a profound sense of solidarity there is courage there is a surging of the human spirit.
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
Immigration was probably the driving thing behind Brexit.
Tony Blair
Ideals survive through change. They die through inertia in the face of challenge.
Tony Blair
I think everyone's had their pound of flesh and now it's time to move on.
Tony Blair
The British people are the boss.
Tony Blair
We are going to expand enormously -- our economy, our consumption, over the years to come ... But the consequences of that on emissions are going to be severe unless we change direction.
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
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
Tony Blair
My course has never been about triangulation, and neither, really, is Bill Clinton's. It's not - it's about applying your values to the future in a practical and unblinking way, and that is an ideological view that is every bit as strong as views from the left or from the right.
Tony Blair
A challenge so far-reaching in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, that it alters radically human existence... There is no doubt that the time to act is now.
Tony Blair
If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.
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 do not want to end up with an American style of politics, with us going out there beating our chest about our faith. Politics and religion - it is not that they do not have a lot in common, but if [religion] ends up being used in the political process, I think that is a bit unhealthy.
Tony Blair
My view is that we're entering into a situation of enormous instability, insecurity, fragility.
Tony Blair
It's not a burning ambition for me to make sure that David Beckham earns less money.
Tony Blair
People should go about their daily lives, to work, to live, to travel, to shop, to do the things people did in the same way as they did them before 11 September.
Tony Blair
Genetic modification has many different areas, for example in medicine, and Britain is at the leading edge of this new technology. I don't know, but people tell me, it could indeed by the leading science of the 21st century. All I say to people is: 'Just keep an open mind and let us proceed according to genuine scientific evidence.'
Tony Blair
Any parent wants the best for their children. I am not going to make a choice for my child on the basis of what is the politically correct thing to do.
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.
