William Hague
Well, if you're looking for me to lead a normal representative life, well good luck finding a foreign secretary who'd be like that - totally dependant on the political system and has never earned any money. Then you'll get the politicians you deserve.
William Hague

William Hague
I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.
William Hague
I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.
William Hague
Whatever happens in Mogadishu, in Somalia, will happen in Great Britain. We have interlocking interests.
William Hague

William Hague
A generation of children has been betrayed.
William Hague
There's only one growth strategy: work hard.
William Hague
When the Lord Chancellor violates the trust of his great office of state to solicit party donations from people whose careers he can control, and then says I'm not sorry, and I'd do it again no wonder the public think that power has gone to their heads.
William Hague
You can see over time whether people are prepared to differ or not.
