More from Margaret Thatcher
"I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air."
"I always cheer up immensely if anything looks like going wrong, because I know that I am then in my element."
"It is better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life."
"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."
"It is not the business of government to nationalize industries. It is the business of government to keep industries competitive."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
