Quote by Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)

• I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.

• I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.

• Being a leader is like being a lady, if you have to go around telling people you are one, you aren't.

• I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

• Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.

• A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
