Margaret Thatcher
Whether manufactured by black, white, brown or yellow hands, a widget remains a widget – and it will be bought anywhere if the price and quality are right. The market is a more powerful and more reliable liberating force than government can ever be.
Margaret Thatcher
The secret of happiness is to live within your income and pay your bills on time.
