I've always said, not giving too much away, I'm a believer in having all your stars on the pitch.

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.

It's about time! It's supposed to be a ritual, not a marathon.

Back then, work revolved around life. Today, life revolves around work.

I would rather be on the team of the Leader who prays to God for wisdom to guide the followers, than to be on the team of the leader who leads without prayer.

And Sometimes I Feel as if I'm Only a Doorman Awaiting the Arrival of her Royal Majesty.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

If you're gonna be a maniac, pyro's not a good maniac.

It's the face the world sees, the one you can change as many times as you want

Jargon marks the place where thinking has been. It becomes a kind of macro, to use a computer term: a way of storing a complicated sequence of thinking operations under a unique name.

I will walk where failures fear to walk.

I told you I was ill. (On his headstone)
