Margaret Thatcher Quotes

“As a result of her steadfast determination she kept faith with both the Falkland Islanders and with the will of Parliament.
It is hard to believe that any other politician would have remained so straightforward in purpose and so single minded in commitment. It was the force of her personality and the strength of her certainty that enabled her to stand firm. The people who appreciated this most were the men who were about to do the fighting.”
― Jonathan Aitken, Margaret Thatcher - Power and Personality

“The fall of Margaret Thatcher had three ingredients. Her personality went off the rails because of an excess of hubris and a want of listening. Her party went off the rails because of a surfeit of fear and a shortage of loyalty. A pincer movement of two plotters and the collapse of her support in cabinet dealt her the killer blows.”
