Tony Blair

Famous quotes by Tony Blair:

"The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes."

"This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today"

"Understand the causes of terror? Yes, we should try, but let there be no moral ambiguity about this: nothing could ever justify the events of September 11 and it is to turn justice on its head to pretend it could"

"There is no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must."

"This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism."

"I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country."

"Power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile. This is a party of government and I will lead it as party of government."

"The threat from Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological, potentially nuclear weapons capability - that threat is real."

"Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war."

"If there is one thing Britain should learn from the last 50 years, it is this: Europe can only get more important for us."

"But I am an optimist about Britain; and the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is not that the optimist believes the world is wonderful and the pessimist believes it's beset by challenges; the difference is the pessimist believes we will be defeated by them; the optimist thinks the challenges can be overcome."

"So actually I only got a mobile phone the day after I left being Prime Minister."
