Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" of England may have passed on, having lived a life of high politics, intrigue and public mockery.

But the woman never bowed down to the criticism nor wavered in the face of snubbing from her Cold War counterparts.

While there are many who shun her brand of politics as having ruined British economy, many forget the "Time" when she assumed the mantle of responsibility to run the nation.

The story of her rise to power is interesting too. Thatcher was typically the woman who had to fight out her way through the Lords and Commoners, alike.

With no hopes pinned to a apolitical career, she opined in 1969 that "No woman, in my time, will be prime minister or foreign secretary— not the top jobs. Anyway, I would not want to be prime minister. You have to give yourself 100 percent to the job."

It was in a short 10 year gap since making this remark, that Thatcher sky-rocketed on the British political scene to be the first and longest serving Prime Minister of the nation.
So in honor of the Iron Lady, whose legacy is rich and wit of the highest order, here are some of her most memorable words that stay behind for us to be inspired.

Forget her politics, forget her persona that was carved by the media and simply absorb these quotes with equanimity in her memory.
