Minister Quotations
It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
Margaret Thatcher
Being prime minister is a lonely job... you cannot lead from the crowd.
Margaret Thatcher
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.
Joseph Stalin

Garrison Keillor
In Downing Street they called me 'Boss'. Civil servants would always call me 'Prime Minister'.
Tony Blair
An ignorance of means may minister to greatness, but an ignorance of aims make it impossible to be great at all.
