Margaret Thatcher
Image
For the Christian there can be no social or political panaceas, no easy escapes from personal responsibility achieved by collectivising guilt or virtue. The true ends of temporal life lie beyond it, and, though the tyrannical State may diminish virtue, the benevolent State cannot procure it.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Never believe that technology alone will allow America to prevail as a superpower.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
