More quotes by William Hague

William Hague
Egypt is a sovereign nation.
William Hague
It is the mission of the next Conservative Government to build the Responsible Society.
William Hague
Time is not on Gaddafi's side. People ask about the exit strategy. It's Colonel Gaddafi who needs an exit strategy because this pressure will only mount and it will be intensified over the coming days and weeks.
William Hague
Syria should not belong to one family, to one coterie, or to one party. It belongs to all the people of Syria equally, in all their religious and ethnic diversity.
William Hague
We hope that the long darkness through which the Burmese people have lived may now be coming to an end.
William Hague
One day I will go back to my books and piano, but not yet.
William Hague
I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.
William Hague
To the hard-working people who set a little bit aside each month, to provide for their children, or to fund their own retirement, I say: you should be rewarded not punished.
William Hague
