Famous quotes related to prime minister:

    “No woman in my time will be Prime Minister or Chancellor or Foreign Secretary—not the top jobs. Anyway I wouldn’t want to be Prime Minister. You have to give yourself 100%.”
    —Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    “Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life. What do you do after you are world-famous and nineteen or twenty and you have sat with prime ministers, kings and queens, the Pope? What do you do after that? Do you go back home and take a job? What do you do to keep your sanity? You come back to the real world.”
    —Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)

    “Being prime minister is a lonely job.... you cannot lead from the crowd.”
    —Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    “The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.”
    —Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)

    “One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius; he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced; he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome; he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
