Woman Prime Minister

Famous quotes containing the words prime minister, woman, prime and/or 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)

    With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger and dirt
    And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
    She sang the “Song of the Shirt.”
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    I came there as prime steak and now I feel like low-grade hamburger.
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
    Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
    Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
    And with some sweet oblivious antidote
    Cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff
    Which weighs upon the heart?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
