Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
We do not achieve happiness or salvation in isolation from each other but as members of society
Margaret Thatcher
When I look at him [Edward Heath] and he looks at me, I don't feel that it is a man looking at a woman. More like a woman being looked at by another woman.
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the negation of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
