We need to have a bigger and more significant role for national parliaments. There is not, in my view, a single European demos.

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.

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.

By creating problems for others you will never able solve your own problem. When you will try to solve your enemy’s problem, your problem will disappear.

We stumble in sin, when we fail to read the scriptures.

As a music supervisor, you learn to embrace the best of every genre, and I really have to say there's nothing that I'm embarrassed of.

Every house we have lived in, every building to which our hands have lent their work, belongs to us by virtue of love or of regret.

A picture is a poem without words

Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eyewitness.

Philosophy is the art of living.

Virtually all success depends on trying things that fail.

Your twisting is done--you have the last thread of my heart. I wonder: when the thread grows slack, will you feel it?
