"There are no personal sympathies in politics...." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.”

“What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner 'I stand for consensus'?”

“I believe in the acceptance of personal responsibility, freedom of choice, and the British Empire, which took freedom and the rule of law to countries which would never have known it otherwise.”

“On the way up here to the podium, a gentleman came up to me and said, "Governor, you are as good a politician as you were an actor." What a cheap shot.”

“How does it feel to be the 's third choice? Humiliating? You could have thrown a dart. That's how close they were. We had so many excellent candidates.”

“Mass civil disobedience is like an earthquake, a sort of general upheaval on the political plane.”

“There is only a perspective seeing, only a perspective 'knowing'; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our 'concept' of this thing, our 'objectivity,' be.”

“Objectivity and justice have nothing to do with one another.”

“A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author.”
