The Iron Lady quotes

  • Margaret Thatcher: It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.

  • Alexander Haig: So you are proposing to go to war over these islands. They're thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if you'll excuse me.

    Margaret Thatcher: Just like Hawaii, I imagine.

    Alexander Haig: I'm sorry?

    Margaret Thatcher: 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Did America go cap in hand and ask Tojo 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 will stand on principle, or we shall not stand at all.

    Alexander Haig: But Margaret, with all due respect, when one has been to war...

    Margaret Thatcher: With all due respect, sir, I have done battle every single day of my life and many men have underestimated me before. This lot seem bound to do the same, but they will rue the day.
