Look out! He's got a knife!

Thatcher speaks

In the tradition of recent posts with no content by me, I present the greatest quotes of Margaret Thatcher.

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

"Economics are the method; the object is to change the soul"

"No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions - he had money, too"

"I want my money back"

"A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure"

"If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman"

"No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent"

"I owe nothing to Women's Lib"

"The battle for women's rights has been largely won"

"Of course, people tell me that I shouldn't gloat. Well I am gloating"

"A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us"

"You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive"

"When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands"

"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end"
