Family Qutes Quotes

England is very, very important to me, because in my family the English could do no wrong.

You know, itís easy to say, ìIíll never tell a lie.î But if you say, ìIím going to speak the truth,î youíre going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think thatís another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly.

Quite the contrary, my family had endured numerous personal sacrifices because of my public positions.
