More quotes by Tony Blair
I think the journey for a politician goes from wanting to please all the people all the time, to a political leader that realises in the end his responsibility is to decide. And when he decides, he divides.
Tony Blair
Fanaticism is not a state of religion but a state of mind.
Tony Blair
If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.
Tony Blair
Every so often, I feel I should graduate to classical music, properly. But the truth is, I'm more likely to listen to rock music.
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
Whatever the short term clashes between protecting the environment and eradicating poverty, medium term and long term it is clear. Unless we grow sustainably, at some point we face catastrophe
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.

People divide into groups where they talk to each other, but don't talk across the divide. And yet most of the challenges we face in the world today are challenges that are to do with trade, with technology, with how you make sure that people are properly educated, reform your health care system.
Tony Blair
I always say, when they ask me about American politics, is for you guys to decide who you elect.
Tony Blair
Retreat might give us a moment of respite but years of repentance at our weakness would, I believe, follow.

Tony Blair

Tony Blair
Ah yes, liberal democrats unified as ever in opportunism and in error.
Tony Blair
Climate change is probably the greatest long-term challenge facing the human race.
Tony Blair
In Downing Street they called me 'Boss'. Civil servants would always call me 'Prime Minister'.
Tony Blair
You know, the media and politicians are always gonna be in a bit of tension with one another and probably most of the time that's healthy and indeed even creative. But it's where - it's really when news organisations are used as kind of instruments of politics that it gets tricky.
Tony Blair

Tony Blair
We have taken a situation in the U.K. because of concerns, for example, over immigration and other things, so Britain now is on a path out of Europe.
Tony Blair
For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.
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.
