"A leader is someone who knows what..." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“I will not stagger from expedient to expedient.”

“Wars are not caused by the buildup of weapons. They are caused when an aggressor believes he can achieve his objectives at an acceptable price.”

“The price of freedom is still, and always will be, eternal vigilance.”

“That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.”

“Wherever there is power there is age.”

“I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.”

“I have desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy world, and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. I have therefore written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined.”

“I can visualize the time when almost every family will have a small plane in their back yard.”

“We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.”
