    Margaret Thatcher: "Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become...habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! What we think we become. My father always said that, and I think I am fine."


    Words to live by, to be sure. Thatcher's thoughts, words and actions inspired some, and enraged others. 'The Iron Lady' attempts to tell the story of her life, from more than just a political standpoint, as she rises to become one of the most influential women in history. The film also chronicles Thatcher's elderly decline, as she struggles with dementia and aging.

      Thatcher's quote (made famous again by Meryl Streep voicing it in the new biopic) about thoughts, words, actions, habits, character and destiny is really from the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu (also spelled Laozi) - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi
