Margaret Thatcher Politician “If I were a German today, I would be proud, proud but also worried. I would be proud of the magnificent achievement of rebuilding my country, entrenching democracy and assuming the undoubtedly preponderant position in Europe. But a united Germany can't and won't subordinate its national interests in economic or in foreign policy to those of the Community indefinitely. Germany's new pre-eminence is a fact - and its power is a problem - as much for Germans as for the rest of Europe.” Country Europe Achievement ♥ 4

A guy actually put some coke under my nose and I was able to say, "No, thanks," and turn my head away.” Running Guy Rocks ♥ 4

But an American--one who has made tolerable use of his opportunities--cares, comparatively, little about such things, and is advantageously nearer to the primitive and the ultimate condition of man in these respects.” Men Opportunity Royal ♥ 4
