"It's a funny old world...." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“I am not a compromiser on fundamentals.”

“We weren't getting a fair deal on the budget and I wasn't going to have it. There's a great strand of equity and fairness in the British people - this is our characteristic. There's not a strand of equity and fairness in Europe - they're out to get as much as they can. That's one of those enormous differences. So I tackled it on that basis.”

“I don't want to fight any wars; if you can get them off before we get there, you do it, but off they go.”

“Dying is a troublesome business: there is pain to be suffered, and it wrings one's heart; but death is a splendid thing -a warfare accomplished, a beginning all over again, a triumph. You can always see that in their faces.”

“You must become the producer, director and actor in the unfolding story of your life.”

“Term, holidays, term, holidays, till we leave school, and then work, work, work till we die.”

“Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice.”

“Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.”

“I hear, Western people say, "The world was created for us." If tigers could write books, they would say, man was created for them and that man is a most sinful animal, because he does not allow him (the tiger) to catch him easily. The worm that crawls under your feet today is a God to be.”
