"It is one of the great weaknesses..." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“Home is where you come to when you've got nothing better to do.”

“Gentlemen, I have spent the night thinking about this Peruvian (peace) initiative and I have to tell you that if it is your decision to accept then you will have to find another Prime Minister.”

“The Government wants a peaceful settlement. But we totally reject a peaceful sell-out.”

“You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.”

“Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.”

“Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.”

“We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.”

“Nothing is so capable of diminishing self-love as the observation that we disapprove at one time what we approve at another.”

“It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day.”
