It's not enough to tackle just the symptoms of poverty. You have to tackle the causes of poverty.
Quote by -George Osborne
Margaret Thatcher's government redistributed money from rich to poor. And that's the nature of a modern western democracy.
Quote by -George Osborne
I think people who sit around and are always yearning for the next thing are not always the happiest people.
Quote by -George Osborne
I've always thought that good politics follows from good economics and good policies.
Quote by -George Osborne
The Conservative party absolutely must not allow itself to be shut out of parts of the north of England.
Quote by -George Osborne
We need strength and success elsewhere in our country - not by pulling London down but by building the rest of the country up.
Quote by -George Osborne
Britain is an open and tolerant country, and I will fight with everything I have to keep it so.
Quote by -George Osborne
To all companies large and small, I would say this: the British economy is fundamentally strong; we are highly competitive, and we are open for business.
Quote by -George Osborne
Working people of this country want economic security. The worst possible thing you can do for those families is bust the public finances, have some welfare system this country can't afford.
Quote by -George Osborne
The former pension minister, the Liberal Democrat Steve Webb said I was trying to abolish the lump sum. Instead, we are going to keep the lump sum and abolish the Liberal Democrats.
Quote by -George Osborne
There is lots of evidence that it is this fear of going into debt that most puts people from poorer backgrounds off going to university.
Quote by -George Osborne
Leaving the E.U. was not the outcome that I wanted or campaigned, but now that democracy has spoken, we must act on that result. I will fully respect that result.
Quote by -George Osborne
I fought passionately to remain in the E.U., and I warned of the economic risks if we left the E.U.
Quote by -George Osborne
We must bring unity of spirit and purpose and condemn hatred and division wherever we see it.
Quote by -George Osborne
I do not want Britain to turn its back on Europe or the rest of the world.
Quote by -George Osborne
We are not quitters. Britain has always gone out there; we have probably been more influential than any other country in shaping our world and the way it has thought about itself, the way we interact as nations.
Quote by -George Osborne
If we leave the European Union, there will be an immediate economic shock that will hit financial markets. People will not know what the future looks like.
Quote by -George Osborne
It's difficult to see how Syria can have any long-term future with Assad there as president. Many people would never return to that country if that were the case.
Quote by -George Osborne
Frankly, people buying a home to let should not be squeezing out families who can't afford a home to buy.
Quote by -George Osborne
To simply argue that public spending must always go up and never be cut is irresponsible.
Quote by -George Osborne
Sound public finances are not the enemy of sustained growth - they are its precondition.
Quote by -George Osborne
The wish to pass something on to your children is about the most basic, human and natural aspiration there is.
Quote by -George Osborne
Many retailers have complained bitterly to me about the complexity of the Carbon Reduction Commitment. It's not a commitment; it's a tax.
Quote by -George Osborne
Britain can choose, as others are, short term fixes and more stimulus. Or we can lead the world with long-term solutions to long-term problems.
Quote by -George Osborne
Did I want Britain to remain in the E.U.? Yes. Did I fear the consequences if we quit? Yes. Did I argue passionately for that during the referendum? Absolutely I did.
Quote by -George Osborne
There were some who wanted all the benefits of E.U. membership without any of the costs. I'm not sure that's very realistic.
Quote by -George Osborne
I'm a very happy, content member of David Cameron's team. I fought very hard to get my friend elected as leader of the Conservative party, then elected as the prime minister of this country, and I'm very happy being part of that team that is bringing change to this country.
Quote by -George Osborne
I can't imagine a God who would ever need to intercede in the daily travails of my life.
Quote by -George Osborne
I'm not one of those who thinks there is something inherently bad or inferior about watching television.
Quote by -George Osborne
Only the U.K. can trigger Article 50. And in my judgement, we should only do that when there is a clear view about what new arrangements we are seeking with our European neighbours.
Quote by -George Osborne
Nuclear power is cost-competitive with other low-carbon technology and is a crucial part of our energy mix, along with new sources of power such as shale gas.
Quote by -George Osborne
The Internet has made us richer, freer, connected and informed in ways its founders could not have dreamt of. It has also become a vector of attack, espionage, crime and harm.
Quote by -George Osborne
ISIL are already using the Internet for hideous propaganda purposes - for radicalisation, for operational planning, too.
Quote by -George Osborne
We are very supportive of the economic reforms that the Chinese government have talked about.
Quote by -George Osborne
The message I would say to China is, 'Carry on with the reform; carry on with the change you are making.'
Quote by -George Osborne
Rather than standing back and being left behind, we must make the most of the opportunities that a growing China presents to us here in Britain.
Quote by -George Osborne
Even as China's growth slows, it will continue to be a powerhouse for the global economy.
Quote by -George Osborne
Our long-term economic plan is all about creating jobs and the economic security that comes with that.
Quote by -George Osborne
Britain has always been a home to the vulnerable, and we've always done what we need to do to help people who are fleeing persecution.
Quote by -George Osborne
Providing great schooling is the single most important thing we can do to help any child from a disadvantaged background succeed. It's also the single most important thing we can do to boost the long-term productivity of our economy.
Quote by -George Osborne
We have accepted there is a big role for government to create a framework where businesses can grow in all parts of the country.
