Government has the power to help improve well-being

I believe something very deeply. That Britain's national interest is best served in a flexible, adaptable and open European Union and that such a European Union is best with Britain in it.

Billions raised, billions spent. No idea where the money has gone. With a record like that the chancellor should be running for treasurer of the Labour Party.

For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

I don't want to be Prime Minister of England, I want to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom.

If we left the European Union, it would be a one-way ticket, not a return. So we will have time for a proper, reasoned debate. At the end of that debate you, the British people, will decide.

Lots of people call me Dave, my mum calls me David, my wife calls me Dave, I don't really notice what people call me.

I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.

I am not a British isolationist. I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.

If you can work and if you're offered a job and you don't take it, you cannot continue to claim benefits. It will be extremely tough.

In the pursuit of dreams, we all have different beginnings. Your past is not negotiable. You must let go of the hope for a better past.

Humans have long since possessed the tools for crafting a better world. Where love, compassion, altruism and justice have failed, genetic manipulation will not succeed.

I struggled to think pure thoughts, as Hector sucked out my psyche with his eyes.

I think it eminently proper that a president should retire from active politics, and equally proper that he should be able to live in quiet independence.

Be as a lion in the path. Be dangerous even in defeat.

What most people do is try to find a comfortable persona that they're in alignment with and the public likes and appreciates them for.

Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.

I'm going to love you so good and so long you're gonna be convinced no earthly thing could have brought us together

I know what it's like to be day and night now; always together, forever apart.

Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out.
