In the spirit of what's going to happen next Saturday here in Australia I thought I'd list my favourite quotes by my favourite world leaders.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Margaret Thatcher
Winston, you're drunk!
I may be drunk Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you'll still be ugly.
Winston Churchill to Bessie Braddock
We won't just automatically click our heels and follow the Americans.
John Howard
Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
Richard M. Nixon
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Tony Blair
Those eyes dominated and they're absolutely right. How come I failed? How come my mission failed? how come as the commander who has the total responsibility-- We learn that, it's ingrained in us, because when we take responsibility it means the responsibility of life and death, of humans that we love.
L. Gen Romeo Dallaire on the Rwanden Genocide
