I believe in the family. I believe in marriage, and I think it's such a great institution. Furthermore, I think men should be able to marry each other, and women should be able to marry each other.

I believe that in life, you have to give things your best shot, do your best. You have to focus on what needs to be done, do the right thing, not the popular thing.

I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too. So I speak as British prime minister with a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part.

If I've learned anything over the last six years it's that the most important thing is the strength of our economy. That is how we pay for our NHS, how we build schools, how we provide opportunities for people. And I'm in absolutely no doubt that our economy will be stronger if we stay in and will be weaker and at risk if we leave.

I have no time for those who say there is no way Scotland could go it alone. I know first-hand the contribution Scotland and Scots make to Britain's success - so for me there's no question about whether Scotland could be an independent nation.

I'm a classic Church of England member, but part of its strength is the fact that it doesn't ask us to sign up to too much of a canon... but I've always found the teachings of Jesus and the Bible quite useful as a sort of handy guide.

I think it true that, you know, sometimes things start to change even before a government changes and, actually, I think you can begin to see even the Labor machine beginning to understand that it has become over-reliant on targets and processes, that local governments have been over-bossed and bullied.

I think the country requires fresh leadership. I do not think I can be the captain to take the country to its next destination.

— David Cameron

I've said I'll stand for a full second term, but I think after that it will be time for new leadership. Terms are like Shredded Wheat - two are wonderful, but three might just be too many.

One of the things I most admire about America is they have created a genuine melting pot society, a country of opportunity; you can be of any religion, color, ethnicity, persuasion and make it to the top of your chosen field. And that's something I admire about America and hope they continue with.
