As the President has indicated my life has been a life of travel - for 60 years constantly moving over the wide world on journeys which first and last have taken me to 83 countries and what is more significant to most of them again and again.

People have to make journeys what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they're going to travel.

I always figure from the cradle to the grave we all have our individual journeys and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.

In the theatre people talk. Talk talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.
