- Politics used to be about trying to do something, now it's about trying to be someone
.

- Magaret, would you marry me? - Yes, yes! I love you so much but I will never be one of those women, Denis, who stay silence and pretty on the arm of her husband, or remote and alone in the kitchen, doing the washing up for that matter. - We'll get a help for that. - No. One's life must matter, Denis. Beyond the cooking and the cleaning and the children, one's life must mean more than that! I cannot die washing up a tea cup. I mean it, Denis. Say you understand. - That's why I want to marry you, my dear.
--Margaret, would you marry me? --Yes, yes! I love you so much, but I will never be the kind of woman who holds her husband’s arms flat and beautiful, or stays away from the world doing housework in the kitchen alone. --We can hire a domestic helper. --No, a person's life must be meaningful. Dennis, in addition to cooking, washing clothes, and having children, a person's life must be more meaningful. I don't want to wash the teacup for a lifetime. This is my truth, Dennis, you know everything. --That's why I want to marry you, my dear.

--I don't expect to win the leadership, but I am going to run just to shake up the party. --Respectfully, Margaret. But I disagree. If you want to change this party, lead it. If you want to change the country, lead it. What we're talking about here today is surface. What's crucial is that you hold your course, and stay true to who you are. Never be anything other than yourself. You've got it in you to go the whole distance.

Together we can shake off the shackles of socialism and restore to greatness this country that we love. I should just like to say that I take very seriously the trust placed in me by the British people today and I will work very hard to live up to that responsibility.

"Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error may we bring truth. Where there is doubt may we bring faith. And where there is dispair may we bring hope." —— St. Francis
in a place of contradiction, Let us sow harmony; where there is error, let us sow truth; where there is suspicion, let us sow trust, and where there is despair, let us sow hope. ---Saint Francis

People don't think anymore. They feel. How are you feeling? Oh, I don't feel comfortable. Oh, I'm so sorry but we, the group were feeling...? Do you know one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas. Now thoughts and ideas. That interests me.
People don’t think anymore, they rely on feelings. Always ask how do you feel? All of a sudden, I felt wrong, and then all of a sudden, I said, sorry, how does our organization feel? .. Do you know that one of the biggest problems of our time is that we are ruled by such a group of people who care more about feelings than ideas and concepts. Ideas and concepts really interest me. Ask me what I think. --What are your thoughts, Margaret?

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for they become your destiny. What we think, we become
. Thought determines the height of life. And I think my body is fine, but I am very grateful for your concern.

The woman who change the face of history.

Gentlemen, if we don't cut spending we will be bankrupt. Yes the medicine is harsh, but the patient requires it in order to live. Shall we withhold the medicine? No!

- You can't just close down a conversation because it's not what you wish to hear. - I don't expect everyone just to sit there and agree with me. But what kind of leader am I if I don't try to get my own way to do what I know to be right. - Yes, but Margaret. One must be careful not to test one's collegues's loyalty too far.
- Don't stop a conversation just because you don't like to listen. - I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but if I don't put into practice what I think is right, what a leader is. - Yes, but, Margaret, be careful not to repeatedly test the loyalty of your colleagues.

There are those who would say hold back , there are those who would make us retreat, but we shall never give in to them.We shall never waver, not for a second, in our determination to see this country prosper once again.
Some people may Persuading us to retreat, someone will let us retreat, but we will never give in to them, we will never hesitate, not even a second, we are determined to see this country prosper again.


Just like Hawii. 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, did America go cap in hand and ask Toko for a peaceful negotiation of terms? Did she turn her back on her own citizens there because the islands were thousands of miles from mainland United States? No! No! No! We by Will Stand ON Principle or WE of shall not Stand AT All.

With All Due respect SIR, the I have have DONE Battle Every SINGLE Day of my life, and MANY Men have have underestimated me the before.
With all due respect, my life Every day in China is a battle, and many men underestimated me before.



We congratulate the men and women of our armed Forces for their skill, bravery and loyalty to this country. We were faced with an act of unprovoked aggression, and we responded as we have responded in times past: with unity, strength and courage, sure in the knowledge that though much is sacrificed. In the end, right will prevail over wrong.

This is a day to put difference aside, to hold one's head high and take pride in being British.


In order to live in this country, you must pay for the privilege-something, anything! If you pay nothing, you care nothing. What do you care where you throw your rubbish? Your council estate is a mess,your town,graffiti, what do you care? It's not your problem, it's not somebody else's problem--it's the governance's problem..your problem--some of you, is that you haven't courage for this fight.You haven't had to fight hard for anything.It's all been given to you-and you feel guilty about it! Well,may I say, on behalf of all those who have had to fight their way up,and who don't feel guilty about it..we resent those slackers who take, take, take...and contribute nothing to the community!
To live in this country, you have to pay for the rights, some or all, if you pay nothing, you don’t care about anything. Do you care where the garbage is dumped? The community you live in is a mess, and the town is full of graffiti. Do you care? This is not your responsibility, nor the responsibility of other people. It is the responsibility of the government. Your problem, some of you, is that you don’t have enough courage to win this war. You have never tried your best to fight for anything. It is always at your fingertips. You should feel guilty. With all due respect, I would like to represent those who are going all out and do not feel guilty for what they have gained. We hate slackers. They only know what they want and

don’t contribute to society. Don't they know if you tale the tough decisions, ..Yes,people will hate you today,but they'll thank you for generations. - Or forget you entirely and chuck you out with the rubbish!
They don't know, if you make a difficult decision, yes, people will hate you for a while, but will appreciate you for a few lifetimes. --Or forget you completely, treat it like shit!


It's the government's problem, that you haven't got the courage to fight. You haven't had to fight hard for anything.

All I wanted was to make a difference in the world.

    I thought it was about Iron Lady's military life, but it turned out to be just a twilight old woman's memory of her past glory and her deceased husband; the script of stream of consciousness, the writer and director are really flying with thoughts, which are important to Mrs Thatcher Events: The rebellion in Northern Ireland, the domestic economy, the Falklands War, the end of the Cold War, etc. are all in one stroke; I used to worry about whether Aunt Mei could interpret this role well, but now it is almost the only thing to watch, unfortunately, sad.
