Margaret Thatcher – A Woman of Substance

The writers at Power Line blog have written tributes to The Great Lady that are worth reading.  Steven Hayward’s piece begins with this quote written about Churchill upon his death:

The death of Churchill reminds us . . . of our duty.  We have no higher duty, and no more pressing duty, than to remind ourselves and our students, of political greatness, human greatness, of the peaks of human excellence.  For we are supposed to train ourselves and others in seeing things as they are, and this means above all in seeing their greatness and their misery, their excellence and their vileness, their nobility and their triumphs, and therefore never to mistake mediocrity, however brilliant, for true greatness.

And ends with this picture…

Thatcher
