"It's a funny old world." — Margaret Thatcher

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
