MARGARET THATCHER QUOTES
I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.

As God once said, and I think rightly...

It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do and you've done it.
