I've always though the wider quote is interesting
"They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours."
Though i think, and it's been said before, that in some respects the society that came after her governments didn't represent what she had in mind!
