Margaret Thatcher
When you stop a dictator, there are always risks. But there are greater risks in not stopping a dictator.

Let me give you my vision: A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master. These are the British inheritance. They are the essence of a free country, and on that freedom all of our other freedoms depend.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
