Margaret Thatcher
If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
It's okay, Chancellor, you can touch them. Sometimes I just strip down to a tank top and stare at these guns in front of a mirror all day long.
Margaret Thatcher
Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.
Margaret Thatcher
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.

Margaret Thatcher
I wasn't lucky. I deserved it.
Margaret Thatcher
