Boris Johnson — "I don't think I'm a man who is particularly known for his modesty."

"I don't believe in collective guilt. I don't believe in collective punishment. I don't believe in collective anything. I believe in individual responsibility."

"I'm going to get Brexit done. Come what may. Do or die."

"I am a firm believer in the power of optimism."

"I could not, and would not, be in favour of a policy of restricting the entry of foreign-born individuals who are prepared to come and work in Britain. It is a fundamental economic error."

"If I am to be remembered for anything, I hope it is for having brought a bit of joy and laughter to people's lives."
