Маргарет Тэтчер цитаты

страница 5

Если вы хотите что-то обговорить — идите к мужчине, если хотите реально сделать — идите к женщине.

Переводчик думал, ослышался и перевел 50 миллионов, но Тэтчер его же поправила, нас в то время было еще 150 миллионов, а куда остальные 135 миллионов? а остальные пойдут под алкогольный, табачный, наркотический нож, самое страшное, что может сделать и уже делает алкоголь - это уничтожить и смести с лица земли целые народы с помощью алкоголя за 40 лет были уничтожены североамериканские индейцы.

М. Тэтчер о первой встрече с М.С. Горбачевым

Быть руководителем — то же, что быть леди. Если ты напоминаешь людям о том, кто ты, значит, ты этим не являешься.

This phrase, often associated with Thatcher, derives from an interview with Brian Walden on Weekend World (16 January, 1983) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/speeches/displaydocument.asp?docid=105087. However, it is Brian Walden who says, in summarising Margaret Thatcher, "you've really outlined an approval of what I would call Victorian values".
From a speech to the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce (January 28, 1983) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/105244
Thatcher also gave the following quote a few weeks later : I was brought up by a Victorian grandmother. You were taught to work jolly hard, you were taught to improve yourself, you were taught self-reliance, you were taught to live within your income, you were taught that cleanliness was next to godliness. You were taught self-respect, you were taught always to give a hand to your neighbour, you were taught tremendous pride in your country, you were taught to be a good member of your community. All of these things are Victorian values. [...] They are also perennial values as well.
Radio Interview for IRN programme ‘The Decision Makers’ (April 15, 1983) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/105291 ; conducted by Peter Allen
Источник: Disputed, P.M. Thatcher made this observation shortly thereafter : The other day I appeared on a certain television programme. And I was asked whether I was trying to restore ‘Victorian values.’ I said straight out, yes I was. And I am. And if you ask me whether I believe in the puritan work ethic, I’ll give you an equally straight answer to that too.

Imprimis, "The Moral Foundations of Society" (March 1995), http://imprimisarchives.hillsdale.edu/file/archives/pdf/1995_03_Imprimis.pdf an edited version of a lecture Thatcher had delivered at Hillsdale College in November 1994. In characterizing the Athenians Thatcher was paraphrasing from "Athens' Failure," a chapter of classicist Edith Hamilton's book The Echo of Greece (1957), pp.47-48, http://www.ergo-sum.net/books/Hamilton_EchoOfGreece_pp.47-48.jpg but in her lecture Thatcher mistakenly attributed the opinions to Edward Gibbon. Subsequently, a version of this quotation has been widely circulated on the Internet, misattributed to Gibbon.
In a later address, "The Moral Foundation of Democracy," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1sgMoYb70 given in April 1996 at a Clearwater, Florida gathering of the James Madison Institute, Thatcher delivered the same sentiment in a slightly different way: " 'In the end, more than they wanted freedom, [the Athenians] wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life. But they lost it all—security, comfort, and freedom. … When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society, but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free.' There you have the germ of the dependency culture: freedom from responsibility."
