“Failure? Do you remember what Queen Victoria once said? “Failure—the possibilities do not exist”.”
Margaret Thatcher (1925–2013) British stateswoman and politician
TV Interview for ITN (5 April 1982) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/104913 regarding the Falkland Islands <br class="br">First term as Prime Minister <br class="br">Context: I am not talking about failure, I am talking about my supreme confidence in the British fleet... superlative ships, excellent equipment, the most highly trained professional group of men, the most honourable and brave members of Her Majesty's Service. Failure? Do you remember what Queen Victoria once said? “Failure—the possibilities do not exist”. That is the way we must look at it, with all our professionalism, all our flair and every single bit of native cunning, every single bit of professionalism and all our equipment and we must go out calmly, quietly, to succeed.

But he would be king to her.”
