From Margaret Thatcher, (1925-2013) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, during an interview for Italian television (RAI), conducted by Enzo Biagi (March 10, 1986):
In my work, you get used to criticisms. Of course you do, because there are a lot of people trying to get you down, but I always cheer up immensely if one is particularly wounding because I think well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. That is why my father always taught me: never worry about anyone who attacks you personally; it means their arguments carry no weight and they know it.
