"Life's greatest reward is life itself..." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“There are forces more powerful and pervasive than the apparatus of war. You may chain a man, but you cannot chain his mind. You may enslave him, but you will not conquer his spirit. In every decade since the war Soviet leaders have been reminded that their pitiless ideology only survives because it is maintained by force. But the day will come when the anger and frustration of the people is so great that force cannot contain it. Then the edifice cracks; the mortar crumbles; one day, liberty will dawn on the other side of the wall.”

“Never in the history of human credit has so much been owed.”

“Never flinch. Make up your own mind and do it.”

“Mankind cannot get on without a certain amount of absurdity.”

“What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.”

“Is not, indeed, every man a student, and do not all things exist for the student's behoof?”

“Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!”

“When adversity overtakes you, it pays to be thankful it was not worse instead of worrying over your misfortune.”

“If you must let someone down, be sure it isn’t the friend who helped you up when you were down.”
