"We are not in politics to ignore..." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.”

“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.”

“We must remember our duty to Nature before it is too late. That duty is constant. It is never completed. It lives on as we breathe. It endures as we eat and sleep, work and rest, as we are born and as we pass away. The duty to Nature will remain long after our own endeavors have brought peace to the Middle East. It will weigh on our shoulders for as long as we wish to dwell on a living and thriving planet, and hand it on to our children and theirs.”

“President-elect [Donald] Trump won 30 of 50 states, more counties since Ronald Reagan.”

“When real independence comes to India, the Congress and the League will be nowhere unless they represent the real opinion of the country.”

“For me to go into politics would be like sending a virgin into a house of ill-repute.”

“To me the function of politics is to make possible the desirable.”

“We have on the one hand a desperate need; hunger, sickness, and the dread of war. We have, on the other, the conception of something that might meet it: omnicompetent global technocracy. Are not these the ideal opportunity for enslavement? This is how it has entered before; a desperate need (real or apparent) in the one party, a power (real or apparent) to relieve it, in the other.”

“Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions.”
