From the book:
The Doctor. The name he chose for himself, a promise he made.
'What was the promise?' Clara asks, trying to remind the Doctor of the values he set for himself those many years ago.
The Doctor’s promise: 'Never cruel or cowardly. Never give up, never give in.'
Which is a hell of a lot better than the mantra of the Eye Doctor’s supporters: 'Assad or we burn the country.'

I know! I'm so proud of my show.
Why can't we just have the Doctor run every country. It'd be a hell of an improvement...especially for a country that had THIS GUY at the helm.
Uh-huh.
Yup. We all definitely need a Doctor.
There'll never be a time we won't need the Doctor.
