The first few weeks football players look at you like you are speaking a foreign language. My job is to get them to trust me trust the system. I ask them to run in a way that makes no sense to them.

Foreign policy is about trying to deliver for them the best possible economic benefits the chance to travel to study to work the opportunity through trade to be able to sell their goods and services and as much peace and security so they can live and bring their kids up so they don't have to fear war.

I was afterwards sorry for this though if I ever travel again I shall trust to none but natives as the climate of Africa is too trying to foreigners.

When you travel remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

The simple fact is this: they are foreigners inside a country which has rejected them. Therefore these foreigners wherever they go or travel they will be rained down with bullets from everyone. Attacks by members of the resistance will only go up.

There is no budget for travel for a Shadow Foreign Secretary.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.

Travelers never think that they are the foreigners.

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.

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel he ends by having many acquaintances but no friends.
