Gordon Brown
I'm a father; that's what matters most. Nothing matters more.
Globalisation feels like a runaway train, out of control.
We need quantitative assessments of the success of education. We need certification and qualifications both for teachers and for pupils. It is not a choice between quantity and quality, between access and excellence. Both of these will happen together if people really do believe in the importance of education to change lives.
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
When people criticise you, you've got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I've tried to do.

Britain can be proud of its response to the tsunami appeal.
The extraordinary summer heatwave of 2003 in Europe resulted in over 35,000 extra deaths.
I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic that commands attention from people of every religion and every faith, and people of no faith. But I think what's new is that we now have the capacity to communicate instantaneously across frontiers right across the world.
Climate change is a consequence of the build up of greenhouse gases over the past 200 years in the atmosphere, and virtually all these emissions came from the rich countries.
We've managed to find a way of making decisions that prevents conflict arising - there has been no war between European members at any point in the last 70 years.
When something really matters, you should never give up or give in.
I want to do something for Kirkcaldy and Fife. I am a full-time MP, not a businessman.
It will not be a surprise to you to learn I'm more interested in the future of the Arctic Circle than the future of the Arctic Monkeys.
I have to say that if our global alliances are going to be alliances with Hezbollah and Hamas and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela and Vladimir Putin's Russia, there is absolutely no chance of building a world-wide alliance that can deal with poverty and inequality and climate change and financial instability, and we've got to face up to that fact.
We cannot compromise with the earth; we cannot compromise with the catastrophe of unchecked climate change, so we must compromise with one another.
I've got a job to do.
We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and the poorest countries based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture, so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.
The NHS cannot be privatised if that's not the will of the Scottish people, and the Scottish health service will have the funding that's necessary if that's also the will of the Scottish people.
What is happened in the years since the Second World War is not a temporary truce. It is not simply a ceasefire. Instead of battling with weapons and armaments, people battle only with arguments and ideas.
I once wrote a book on courage and what made people courageous. I found it was a strength of belief matched by a strength of willpower.
Why is playing football in Europe considered the pinnacle of our game, yet in other spheres of life, that same phrase - 'being in Europe' - is dismissed with suspicion?
Britain must lead in Europe to intensify the fight against global terrorism and make our country safer.
When you've got a society that is diverse, what happens is for a time, the issue is integrating your minorities into that society.
In 2005 we have a once in a generation opportunity to deliver a modern Marshall plan for the developing world.
Higher energy prices are requiring industry and commerce to examine the costs and efficiency of energy use.
Those who write off our European heritage are, at least in part, writing off their own heritage.
I don't see politics as one or two people just making or delivering announcements - it's also about winning public support and the public enthusiasm. You've got to win public support.
Other prime ministers leave office and stay in London. I have come back with my whole family to Fife. This is where they are being brought up. It is better for them and better for me. It's great to see more of the kids.
You cannot have Rwanda again because information would come out far more quickly about what is actually going on, and the public opinion would grow to the point where action would need to be taken.
Markets need morals.
Collective European Union action could mean no hiding places for evaders, no safe haven for tax avoiders, and no treasure islands for money launderers.
While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time, and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair, and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him.
Cowdenbeath Football Club have always been at the centre of Cowdenbeath - literally and in every aspect of community life.
You have to live in the future, not the past.
Do you think that I or anybody else who cares about the NHS would stand by and do nothing if we thought the NHS was going to be privatised in Scotland and its funds were going to be cut? Would we stand back and do nothing without a fight? Of course not.
There is nothing that you could say to me now that I could ever believe.
The Britain I know is the Britain of Jo Cox. The Britain where people are tolerant and not prejudiced, and where people hate hate.
The motto of the old order in the City of London was, 'My word is my bond,' but the financial crisis revealed a culture quite alien to that heritage. The stewards of people's money were revealed to have been speculators with it.
When I lost the sight of my eye and faced the prospect of going blind, my sight was saved by the NHS.
Each year India and China produce four million graduates compared with just over 250,000 in Britain.
The best way of realising our high ideals is to show that we have an alternative in government that is credible, that is radical, and is electable - is neither a pale imitation of what the Tories offer nor is it the route to being a party of permanent protest rather than a party of government.
It is not a mistake to want power.
Nigel Farage wanted to privatise the health service. Nigel Farage does not believe in the values we believe in for our public services.
I think it's important that people know who you are and... can ask any questions they like about you.
Getting married has certainly made a massive difference to my own life. So I am committed to giving support for family finances and having the right policies for work-life balance that make it easier for couples to have a rich family life.
You need in the long run for stability, for economic growth, for jobs, as well as for financial stability, global economic institutions that make sure that growth to be sustained has to be shared, and are built on the principle that the prosperity of this world is indivisible.
