The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.

Nothing will do more damage to the pro-European movement than giving room to the suspicion that we have something to hide, that we do not have the “cojones” to carry our argument to the people.

My head spins. One moment I'm told I'm too edgy, then people say I'm too angry, then that I show too much passion... make your minds up.

Politics is a highly tribal business.

Do I get up every morning and ask: am I doing the things that I believe in and am I doing them for the best possible motives? Yes. Unambiguously yes.

You see people literally in a different galaxy who are paying extraordinarily low rates of tax.

What we should be doing in the EU as a whole is more economic integration in the single market, rather than less.

Voters tell politicians what they want through the ballot box. Constantly second-guessing them by speculating whether the parties should gang up on each other misses the point.

I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I don't think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school.

Growth that lasts does not threaten our children's future. It recognises that our planet is a gift that must be cherished. That tomorrow is our responsibility as much as today.

Joining the Liberal Party was a no-brainer for me... And when you are a young man, you don't get a calculator out saying, 'Am I going to get to power?' You get propelled forward by idealism.

The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.

I came from a state where 35 percent self-identify as Tea Partiers, so I'm a bit distorted perhaps in my appreciation for the larger American population.

Every man has two vocations: his own and philosophy.

I can make no apologies for following my heart.

Every man is two men; one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.

Together with worldly education, you have to cultivate the human values and undertake spiritual discipline.

He needs to have a strong heart, because critics don't have a heart.

Most people are searching for a path to success that is both easy and certain. Most paths are neither.

Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.

Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.
