Zitat des Tages von Neil Kinnock:
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
The Parthenon without the marbles is like a smile with a tooth missing.
My first real experience of ambition was as party leader. It was my ambition for Labour to win, in which event I would be prime minister.
I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old.
People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It's less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn't address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby.
You cannot fashion a wit out of two half-wits.
Loyalty is a fine quality, but in excess it fills political graveyards.

There are politicians who seethe with ambition all the time, and there are a lot of other politicians who don't. I'm in the second category, that's all.
If we are going to have a bicameral parliament, I think there should always be a reserved place for people whose background and experience are critical to the welfare of the nation.
I take notice of those who have argued consistently for the modernisation of the E.U., but so many of the skeptics in Britain are just hostile to the whole European idea.
The enemy of idealism is zealotry.
