We do not achieve happiness or salvation in isolation from each other but as members of society
Margaret ThatcherWhat? What am I 'bound to be feeling?' People donโt think anymore. They feel. 'How are you feeling? No, I donโt feel comfortable. Iโm sorry, we as a group weโre feelingโฆ.' One of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas. Thoughts and ideas. That interests me. Ask me what Iโm thinking.
Margaret ThatcherPeople constantly requesting government intervention are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours.
