Famous quotes by Iain Duncan Smith:

"That thing, 'You must stay together for the kids', is out of fashion but is right. It's not arguing parents that children don't like, it is having one parent."

"The future of Conservatism lies in our beliefs and values, not by throwing them away. We need to shed associations that bind us to past failures, but hold faith with those things that make us Conservatives."

"With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others."

"Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man."

"our full support for his immediate pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with our strongest friends and allies in the U.S."

"in the British interest."

"Politics is a rough trade and I can take it with the best of them. I have demonstrated I am capable of taking the worst of blows, even when they are almost so ludicrous as to be bizarre, but I do draw the line at families. I always have. I try to keep my family out of my politics as much as possible."

"The private sector should have a massively larger role. It is frankly stupid that we are the only country that believes the Soviet system works."

"At the root of problems such as drug addiction and breakdown of community is the breakdown of the family, and in particular the breakdown of marriage. For a long time I have tried to get politicians to accept that this problem is no longer an issue that can be shoved into the box marked 'lifestyle choice'; it must be discussed."

"My Catholic background has certainly affected the way I view life and it has become integral to everything I do. It has given me a belief in things like structure, marriage, family, compassion for the poor, the importance of community - but I don't like to wear religion on my sleeve, I prefer to have it integrated into what I do."

"By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown."

"If you look at the footballers, you look at our celebrity culture, we seem to be saying, 'This is the way you want to be'. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people."

"You know in my own area of Waltham Forest, we've had many murders as a result of the gang violence and often innocent bystanders get caught up in it."

"Gang members have invariably grown up in broken, chaotic homes, often experiencing domestic violence; they have truanted from school and many have been formally excluded; and they live in neighbourhoods where worklessness, addiction and crime are rife."

"I went up to the top of the career ladder and I came down again, I am past all that."

"Well football teams are perhaps easier to control than political parties, I'm sure the Prime Minister would agree with me, but yeah I think every team needs discipline and a sense of self-belief and that's important, that's what leadership's all about."

"My personal view is always I'm in favour of anything that gives parliament a greater say. That's after all what we were elected for."

"In Birmingham, Manchester or Liverpool there are white gangs that share the same backgrounds - they come from broken homes, completely dysfunctional, mums for the most part unable to cope, the fathers of these kids completely not in the scene."

"We do a disservice to society if we ignore the evidence which shows that stable families tend to be associated with better outcomes for children."

"The fact is that in too many communities in cities in Britain gangs now have become completely rooted into these communities and they destroy them around them."
