I am not a crook.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. The lady's not for turning. There is no such thing as society. You turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning. I am a survivor. I am a human being. I think we have to be very careful about how we use the word 'feminism'. The battle for women's rights has been largely won. Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't. Watch your thoughts, for they will become actions. I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end. If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman. I am a woman. I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I will be there. To be a leader, you have to be a little bit of a rebel. I am not a consensus politician. I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding. I am a mother. I think the most important thing is to be true to yourself. I am a creator. I am a thinker. We stand for freedom. That is our mission. To be a leader, you have to be a little bit of a loner. The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. I am a leader. I am a strategist. I think the greatest thing is to be able to be yourself. I am a believer. I am a builder. I am a champion. I am a citizen. I am a daughter. I am a doer. I am a dreamer. I am a friend. I am a grandmother. I am a great-grandmother. I am a legend. I am a person. I am a pioneer. I am a planner. I am a politician. I am a reformer. I am a role model. I am a sister. I am a success. I am a thriver. I am a trailblazer. I am a visionary. I am a winner. I am an icon. I am not a feminist. To be a politician, you have to be a good liar. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own beliefs. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own ideals. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own aspirations. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own principles. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own dreams. I am not a woman who is afraid of being alone. I have a very strong sense of my own identity. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own desires. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own wants. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own ambitions. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own needs. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own values. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own standards. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own goals. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own wishes. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own expectations. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own requirements. I think the most important thing is to be true to your own convictions. I have a very strong sense of duty. " The lady's not for turning." " There is no such thing as society." " Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't." " You turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning." |
