Margaret Thatcher
English - Leader
October 13, 1925 - April 8, 2013

The E.U. needs Britain more than Britain needs the E.U. The London Stock Exchange is one of the most powerful financial centers in the world. Frankfurt will never replace it.

Lawrence Kudlow

Her iron will won international respect. Her unabashed femininity gained women's. Margaret Thatcher was a lady's lady.

Louise Burfitt-Dons

Britain needs a real push. It needs nationalism. The sort of spirit that comes during a war. It needs people really to want to see the UK sitting again, maybe not as a colonial power, but as an economic power.

Ratan Tata

The Prime Minister, shortly after she came into office, received a sobriquet as the 'Iron Lady'. It arose in the context of remarks which she made about defence against the Soviet Union and its allies; but there was no reason to suppose that the Right Honourable Lady did not welcome and, indeed, take pride in that description. In the next week or two this House, the nation and the Right Honourable Lady herself, will learn of what metal she is made.

Enoch Powell

I came to London during what was called the second British invasion. The music was from Britain, the fashion was from Britain, everything was from Britain, so I knew I had to be in Britain.

Patrick Cox

I want to be America's Margaret Thatcher. I will be the next Iron Lady.

Michele Bachmann

Snap. Lady with dog. Lady on sofa half-naked. Snap. Naked lady. Lady next to dresser. Lady at window. Snap. Lady on balcony sunlight. (On New Orleans photographer E. J. Bellocq)

Michael Ondaatje

Meryl Streep, despite not being a Prime Minister, is reasonably convincing in 'The Iron Lady.'

Sasha Frere-Jones

'The Iron Lady' is not a biopic. Phyllida Lloyd and Meryl Streep coined it 'King Lear for girls.'

Abi Morgan

I have a lot of respect for Olivia Chow because she is a real excellent lady and honoured Iron Sheik's friend.

The Iron Sheik

Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.

Margaret Thatcher

There aren't more lady songwriters for the same reason that there aren't more lady doctors or lady accountants or lady lawyers; not enough women have the time for careers.

Dorothy Fields

For us she is not the iron lady. She is the kind, dear Mrs. Thatcher.

Alexander Dubcek

America is subsidizing what is left of the prestige and strength of the once mighty Britain. The sun has set forever on that monocled, pith-helmeted resident colonialist, sipping tea with his delicate lady in the non-white colonies being systematically robbed of every valuable resource. Britain's superfluous royalty and nobility now exist by charging tourists to inspect the once baronial castles, and by selling memoirs, perfumes, autographs, titles, and even themselves.

Malcolm X

What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.

Charles Dudley Warner

But, did the Divinity [of Christ] suffer? [...] The holy fathers explained this point through the aforementioned clear example of the red-hot iron, it is the analogy equated for the Divine Nature which became united with the human nature. They explained that when the blacksmith strikes the red-hot iron, the hammer is actually striking both the iron and the fire united with it. The iron alone bends (suffers) whilst the fire is untouched though it bends with the iron.

Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria
