More quotes by 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
They could have been removed. They could have been hidden. They could have been destroyed.
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

Tony Blair
The spread of freedom is the best security for the free.
Tony Blair

Tony Blair
I think the single most important political distinction today is actually between open-minded versus closed-minded, and that's why I think this crosses the boundaries of traditional - center-right and center-left have much more in common with each other right now than the right does with the center-right, and the left does with the center-left.
Tony Blair
Ideals survive through change. They die through inertia in the face of challenge.
Tony Blair
If we want to contrast what we have done in the past few years on delivery with what the right hon. and learned Gentleman delivered, let us remember the interest rates at 10 per cent. to 15 per cent., the 1.5 million fewer people in work, the boom and the bust and the borrowing at 8 per cent.
Tony Blair
The problem with the old ideology was that it suppressed the individual by starting with society. But it is from a sense of individual duty that we connect the greater good and the interests of the community
Tony Blair
This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today
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
The British are special. The world knows it. In our innermost thoughts we know it. This is the greatest nation on earth.
Tony Blair
Look, I am very competitive.
Tony Blair
Fifteen years ago, if you said business will help save the environment people would have laughed at you. Today, I believe that is a serious proposition.
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.
