Margaret Thatcher
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
We have made too much of one or two people, and we think that they can win or lose elections for us. Don't be depressed if one particular person transgresses. It doesn't lose an election unless the Party loses faith in itself.
Margaret Thatcher
We have become a grandmother.
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.
Margaret Thatcher
I exercise my right as a free citizen to spend my own money in my own way, so that I can go on the day, the time, to the doctor I choose and get out fast.
