More quotes by William Hague
How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act? How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?
William Hague
We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go, as I say, more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.
William Hague
It was inevitable the Titanic was going to set sail, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea to be on it.
William Hague
A generation of children has been betrayed.
William Hague
I'm not, nor is anybody I know in government part of a nasty right wing clique.
William Hague
If there's one thing above all that sets me apart from Tony Blair, its this: Im not embarrassed to articulate the instincts of the British people.
William Hague
We are making progress militarily, there is no doubt about that. You've seen the reports from Misrata, although reports of the Gaddafi forces completely pulling out of Misrata seem to be exaggerated.
William Hague
To the teacher weighed down with paperwork, I say: you've been messed around too often. You came into teaching to spend your time teaching children not filling in forms.
William Hague
For the security of the UK, it matters a lot for Somalia to become a more stable place.
William Hague
I know people are fickle.
William Hague
I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day, so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people, whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq, have learnt lessons.
William Hague
People work hard and save hard to own a car. They do not want to be told that they cannot drive it by a Deputy Prime Minister whose idea of a park and ride scheme is to park one Jaguar and drive away in another.
William Hague
Spending only what the country can afford, rewarding savings, encouraging independence, supporting marriage: people know that these things are common sense.
William Hague
Wouldn't it be better to have a watertight law designed to catch the guilty, rather than a press release law designed to catch the headlines?
William Hague
The total economy of Latin America is bigger than China.
William Hague
Labour have been listening for too long to the so-called experts who think that competition is a dirty word and that communicating facts to our children is elitist.
William Hague
People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say.
William Hague
When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.
William Hague
The world is not going into concentric blocs of power. It is actually going into a diffusion of power with more centres of decision-making than ever in human civilisation. That requires you to place yourself in far more hubs of power than ever before.
William Hague
Inspiring scenes of people taking the future of their countries into their own hands will ignite greater demands for good governance and political reform elsewhere in the world, including in Asia and in Africa.
