A respectful farewell to the Iron Lady



I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.


To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.


Margaret Thatcher    October 13, 1925 - April 8, 2013
