"I think Britain would be alright, if only we had a different Government." ― William Hague Topic(s): Government More From William Hague "Let’s not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can’t have high standards without good discipline." "The Bill of Rights was intended to secure freedom of speech – the freedom of speech of members of parliament to speak freely rather than be at threat of… the threat of an over powerful monarch at the time." "At a time of such hope and optimism in the Middle East, we cannot let the Libyan government violate every principle of international law and human rights with impunity." More In Government "We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive."― Jeff Miller "It’s a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one’s safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract."― Alan Shepard "I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master."― David Rockefeller
