Margaret Thatcher – Words of Wisdom

Jan 29th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

Some of the best lessons I have learned in life come from people I never met.

I would like to share some of the ‘words of wisdom’ that I have picked up over the years.

Margaret Thatcher said: 

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

(the opponent doesn’t always give up the first or second time, neither should I.) 

I do not know anyone who has got or gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe.

(hard work…her father was a grocer.) margaret%20thatcher.jpg

I’m extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.

(I’ve said this numerous times, while waiting for negotiations to come to fruition.) 

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

(Being a leader is like…the same.) 

People who stand in the middle of the road get hit by cars going in both directions.

(Make a decision and stick to it…we used to say in the Navy.) 

What’s your favorite quote? and why?
