"It pays to know the enemy – not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend."― Margaret Thatcher Topic(s): AttitudeMore From Margaret Thatcher"If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.""It’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.""If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing."More In Attitude"What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see, I’m a numbers guy, that’s my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming, we are bankrupting this country and I’m in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That’s exactly what I should be doing."― Paul Ryan"Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it."― Victor Hugo"But having said that, there’s also a sea change in attitude towards media."― Robert McChesney
