— "New Projects: Beware of False Economies", published in (March 1985)
“If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.”
— David Davis MP speech "Europe: It's Time To Decide" (19 November 2012)
“There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.”

“Nobody has ever pretended that this will be easy. I have always said that this negotiation will be tough, complex and, at times, confrontational.”
— During his statement on the progress of EU exit negotiations made in the House of Commons (5 September 2017).
“[On concerns over reputed rising authoritarianism in the UK] We're never going to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, despite all the waffling on about it. It's not going to happen. So there’s always that backstop.”
— From an interview, as quoted in "David Davis: 'The right to demonstrate includes the right to disrupt'" New Statesman (27 May 2023)
