Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Yet the basic fact remains: every regulation represents a restriction of liberty, every regulation has a cost. That is why, like marriage (in the Prayer Book's words), regulation should not be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly
Margaret Thatcher
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
Margaret Thatcher
If you set out to be liked, you will accomplish nothing.
