Tony Blair is a British political that served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for more than a decade 1997-2007 as the Leader of the Labour Party. Considered to be a Left Wing party with a Socialist past, many of Blair’s support of foreign policy existed with the Bush Administration. With strong criticism given to him during this time of war, Blair continued to press forward before being succeeded by Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Here is a look at some of the most notable Tony Blair quotes.
“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.”
“Be a doer and not a critic.”
“Education is the best economic policy there is.”
“Human progress has never been shaped by commentators, complainers or cynics.”
“I can only go one way. I’ve not got a reverse gear.”
“I cannot think of any circumstances in which a government can go to war without the support of parliament.”
“I didn’t come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country.”
“I have long believed this interdependence defines the new world we live in.”
“It is not an arrogant government that chooses priorities, it’s an irresponsible government that fails to choose.”
“Leaders lead but in the end it’s the people who deliver.”
