More quotes by William Hague
Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.
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
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
Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease, and will find themselves on the wrong side of history.
William Hague
When we have a Deputy Prime Minister who tells people not to drive cars but has two Jags himself, and where the Minister who tells people not to have two homes turns out to have nine himself - no wonder the public believe politicians are hypocrites.
William Hague
The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a country, in my view, now or ever in the future. It is a group of countries working together.
William Hague
It's not too late to stop the Lisbon Treaty.
William Hague
Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown, President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.
William Hague
I'm going to reduce the size of the Cabinet, cut the number of ministers, reduce the size of the House of Commons, campaign for a European Parliament with 100 fewer members, halve the number of political advisers, and abolish a huge swathe of Labour's regional bureaucracies - and agencies and their offices in Brussels.
William Hague
The people of Britain want a Home Secretary who will give them back their streets. They want a Home Secretary who will speak up for the victim, not the criminal.
William Hague
The appalling crackdown that we witnessed in Hama and other Syrian cities on 30 and 31 July only erode the regime's legitimacy and increase resentment. In the absence of an end to the senseless violence and a genuine process of political reform, we will continue to pursue further EU sanctions.
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
The total economy of Latin America is bigger than China.
William Hague
The British retreat is over and now the advance will begin.
William Hague
Ambition is best tempered with self-knowledge!
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're not getting involved in terms of sending ground forces into Libya. Let's be clear about that. And indeed the UN Resolution forbids that. It says no foreign occupation of any part of Libya.
William Hague
I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.
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.

Yes, I've never inherited a penny!
