Tony Blair cytaty

„Europa jest Europą wolnych, niezależnych, suwerennych nacji, które zdecydowały się podzielić swoją suwerennością, mając na uwadze własne interesy oraz wspólne dobro, osiągając wspólnie więcej niż bylibyśmy w stanie osiągnąć indywidualnie. Unia Europejska pozostanie unikalnym połączeniem tego, co międzyrządowe i tego, co ponadnarodowe. Taka Europa może, dzięki swojej sile ekonomicznej i politycznej, być supermocarstwem – supermocarstwem, ale nie superpaństwem.”

Europe is a Europe of free, independent sovereign nations who choose to pool that sovereignty in pursuit of their own interest and the common good, achieving more together than we can achieve alone. The EU will remain a unique combination of the intergovernmental and the supranational. Such a Europe can, in its economic and political strength, be a superpower; a superpower, but not a superstate. (ang.)

„Wydaje mi się, że źle wybrałem ścieżkę kariery.”

Źródło: „Time”, 7 lutego 2005

„Jestem socjalistą nie dzięki przeczytaniu książki, która sprawiła, że zachwyciłem się tą ideą, ani też nie z powodu bezmyślnej tradycji, ale dlatego, że wierzę że jest to idea najlepsza. Socjalizm najlepiej odpowiada istnieniu, które jest jednocześnie racjonalne i moralne. Oznacza współdziałanie nie rywalizację, wspólnotę nie strach. Oznacza równość, nie dlatego, że chce aby ludzie byli jednakowi ale dlatego, że jedynie poprzez równość warunków ekonomicznych nasza indywidualność może się właściwie rozwinąć.”

I am a Socialist not through reading a textbook that has caught my intellectual fancy, nor through unthinking tradition, but because I believe that, at its best, Socialism corresponds most closely to an existence that is both rational and moral. It stands for co-operation, not confrontation; for fellowship, not fear. It stands for equality, not because it wants people to be the same but because only through equality in our economic circumstances can our individuality develop properly.
pierwsze przemówienie w Izbie Gmin, 6 lipca 1983.
