Margaret Thatcher
Failure? The possibilities do not exist.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't lead from the crowd.
Margaret Thatcher
We shall take whatever action is necessary to contain the growth of the money supply. The government, unlike so many of its predecessors, will face up to economic realities.
