Margaret Thatcher
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.
Margaret Thatcher
Our aim is to make tax collecting a declining industry.
Margaret Thatcher
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you tonight in my … chiffon evening gown, my face softly made up, my fair hair gently waved, the Iron Lady of the Western world. Me? A Cold War warrior? … Well, yes — if that is how they wish to interpret my defense of values of freedoms fundamental to our way of life.
Margaret Thatcher
The Nuremburg trials were attacked at the time as 'victor's justice'. And this is precisely what they were - and were intended to be.
Margaret Thatcher
While the Soviet Union has imposed its rule on its neighbours and drawn an iron curtain between east and west, we in Great Britain have given freedom and independence to more than forty-eight countries whose populations now number more than a thousand million - a quarter of the world's total.
