More from Margaret Thatcher
"To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches."
"To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it does the most good."
"I have spent a long time in politics and have come to the conclusion that there are some things you just cannot change."
"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."
"I think I've been a very good Prime Minister. I've done my best."
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.
