"Wars are not caused by the buildup..." - Quote by Margaret Thatcher

“I don't think there will be a woman Prime Minister in my lifetime.”

“Being powerful is a lot like being a woman: If you have to tell someone that you are, invariably, you are not.”

“I'm not a good butcher but I've had to learn to carve the joint. People expect a new look.”

“I am the most ruthless, brutal champion ever. There is no one who can match me. I want your heart. I want to eat your children.”

“I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin (his wife). When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big Silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined.”

“I think I'll take a bath in his blood.”

“I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.”

“The United States, and other advanced nations, will someday be able to produce instruments of death so terrible the world will be in abject terror of itself and its ability to end civilization.... Such war-making weapons should be developed - but only for purposes of discovery and experimentation”

“I am both pleased but astonished by the fact that mankind has not yet begun to use all the means and devices that are available for destruction. I hope that such weapons are never manufactured in quantity.”
