"The British people want to be free to make their own choices, to take their own risks, and to reap their own rewards."
"I am not prepared to sit by and see this country slide into the socialist abyss."
"I've got a woman's ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it."
"We must not be afraid to be ourselves."
"I always wear a hat. It's a very practical thing, because it keeps your head warm and it keeps your hair tidy."
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.
