"The war in Iraq, clearly has not turned out in the way that was hoped." ― William Hague Topic(s): War More From William Hague "Obviously a Conservative government will always leave taxes lower than they have been under Labour. Those things go with the territory of the Conservative Party." "You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don’t agree with, or find disagreeable, so it’s important to stress that balance." "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.

When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular."― Oscar Wilde "I knew I wanted to write on religious themes when I was a GI in World War II. I saw and experienced so much violence that I thought I could express my outrage best with music."― Dave Brubeck
