great honor huge privilege responsibility
It's a huge privilege and an honor and a great responsibility to take on this job.
era needed style
We're in a very different era now. The style then was right for then, and a new style is needed for now.
err human
we are all human and we err and stray.
lying unique flames
Over the years, Britain has made her own, unique contribution to Europe. We have provided a haven to those fleeing tyranny and persecution. And in Europe's darkest hour, we helped keep the flame of liberty alight. Across the continent, in silent cemeteries, lie the hundreds of thousands of British servicemen who gave their lives for Europe's freedom.
strong character independent
I know that the United Kingdom is sometimes seen as an argumentative and rather strong-minded member of the family of European nations. And it's true that our geography has shaped our psychology. We have the character of an island nation - independent, forthright, passionate in defence of our sovereignty.
regulation plague phenomenon
Complex rules restricting our labour markets are not some naturally occurring phenomenon. Just as excessive regulation is not some external plague that's been visited on our businesses.
europe shopping people
It is nonsense that people shopping online in some parts of Europe are unable to access the best deals because of where they live. I want completing the single market to be our driving mission.
military diversity trying
Some members, like Britain and France, are ready, willing and able to take action in Libya or Mali. Others are uncomfortable with the use of military force. Let's welcome that diversity, instead of trying to snuff it out.
people sovereign democrat
Because I'm a democrat! The will of the people is sovereign.
body unions different
The European Union that emerges from the Eurozone crisis is going to be a very different body. It will be transformed perhaps beyond recognition by the measures needed to save the Eurozone.
thinking issues people
Normally when people say they haven't decided, they're being polite but they're definitely not voting for you. I think it's different this time. People are thinking hard about the issues.
country independence world
Britain is characterised not just by its independence but, above all, by its openness. We have always been a country that reaches out. That turns its face to the world...
stars giving too-much
I've always said, not giving too much away, I'm a believer in having all your stars on the pitch...
country real europe
An EU without Britain, without 1 of Europe's strongest powers, a country which in many ways invented the single market, and which brings real heft to Europe's influence on the world stage which plays by the rules and which is a force for liberal economic reform would be a very different kind of European Union.
