Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

More from Margaret Thatcher
"I am not a sentimentalist. I am a pragmatist."
"I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds, and I very rarely change it."
"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end."
"The choice before us is clear: either we continue down the road to national decline, or we change course and restore Britain's greatness."
"To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it does the most good."
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.
