Famous quotes by Nick Clegg:

"How can Charles Clarke possibly remain in his job if his department's negligence has led to such appalling crimes?"

"The introduction of identity cards will usher in one of the most far-reaching changes in British public life in recent times."

"The contrast with experience and youth compared to the callow charms of David Cameron will serve us well."

"We still don't know the cost, we don't know who would run it or how they would run it."

"I'm very lucky. I am one of those people who is able to go home, shut the front door and completely focus on the kids."

"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."

"We need to teach our kids, because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment, that however rich you are, however famous you are, however glamorous you are, everyone has to live by the same rules."

"Our Sheffield and London homes are worth well over a million but the bank owns most of them - we are mortgaged up to the gills."

"Any government, of whatever composition, needs to mobilise opinion way beyond its own ranks in order to do the difficult things that it does."

"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."

"For far too long the world's poorest people have seen no benefit from the vast natural resources in their own backyards. It is time to end the injustice where ordinary people are silent witnesses, left to suffer without basic services, as the profits from their countries' assets are hidden and plundered by corrupt regimes."

"I wish more people knew that the only one of the three main parties where not a single MP flipped from one property to the next, and not a single MP avoided capital-gains tax, where every single London MP did not claim a penny of second-home allowance, was the Liberal Democrats."

"I totally accept that it's a legitimate criticism that when you are involved in the day-to-day scrum of government... that what can get lost is the narrative, the hymn sheet... the song that inspires and lifts people's sights."

"Most people in this country are very fair-minded; they understand we're in the middle of a very difficult journey of repairing, rescuing, restoring our British economy, and they want us, and they want particularly Liberal Democrats in government, to fight for the fairest possible way of doing that."

"We have got to make sure there is proper independent scrutiny and accountability for people in the press, just as there should be in any other industry where things go wrong. But let's not try and think it is for politicians or governments to tell people what they stick in newspapers. That is deeply illiberal."

"What I hope is in five years' time, I can go to the British people in the election and say: Lots of you doubted that coalition politics worked, but it has worked."

"When I became leader, I made very clear I was not going to choose the easy life. I have always taken risks. I don't like comfort-zone politics."

"Actually, the curious thing is that the more you become a subject of admiration or loathing, the more you're examined under a microscope, the distance seems to open up between who you really are and the portrayals that people impose on you."

"If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick, it's the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that."

"We need to reach out to small 'l' liberal voters who have a modern outlook on life, who want a party that is hard-headed on the economy - more credible on the economy than Labour - but more socially progressive and fairer than the Conservatives."
