More from Margaret Thatcher
"I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph."
"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."
"It is not enough to have good intentions. You must also have the will to act."
"I always wear a hat. It's a very practical thing, because it keeps your head warm and it keeps your hair tidy."
"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.
