It will be years - not in my time - before a woman will become Prime Minister

One of my favourite quotations is: 'That which thy father bequeathed thee, earn it anew, if thou wouldst possess it.'

Advisers advise, and ministers decide.

Countries trade with each other - or to be more precise people buy and sell from each other across frontiers - because that is the way to advance their interests. We do not need to beg people to trade with us - as long as we have something that people want, of a quality they expect and at a price they are prepared to pay.

If a woman like Eva Peron with no ideals can get that far, think how far I can go with the ideals that I have.

There are no personal sympathies in politics.

Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
