More quotes by Tony Blair
People always think American politics is very different, but usually it is a predictor of what happens in the politics elsewhere.
Tony Blair
And just as the terrorist seeks to divide humanity in hate, so we have to unify it around an idea. And that idea is liberty.
Tony Blair
One thing I'm not sure of - and it's a very open question - is whether the type of politics that I represent really has had its day or not. Now I obviously believe passionately it hasn't, that it's still the answer and not the problem, and, you know, the evidence points both ways.
Tony Blair

Tony Blair
I learnt a lot in government, and I've learnt a lot since leaving government. The kind of journey of being in government is that you start at your most popular and least capable, and you end at your most capable and least popular.
Tony Blair
Sometimes and in particular dealing with a dictator, the only chance of peace is a readiness for war.
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
The British people are the boss.
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
I've never ruled out the possibility of going back into public service.
Tony Blair
I think people think their incomes have been flat lining for a long period of time. They feel that the next generation's opportunities are not going to be improvement. So and I also think that social media then allows insurgent movements to gain scale at speed.
Tony Blair
When Europe and America stand together the world is a better and more prosperous place.
Tony Blair
