More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Margaret Thatcher
[On George H.W. Bush:] By 1990 I had learned that I had to defer to him in conversation and not to stint the praise. If that was what was necessary to secure Britain's interests and influence, I had no hesitation in eating a little humble pie.
Margaret Thatcher
A leader is someone who knows what they want to achieve and can communicate that.
Margaret Thatcher
Forget that I'm a woman. Forget the accusations that I am a Right Winger demanding privilege - I had precious little privilege in my early years.
Margaret Thatcher
John Gummer just did not have the political clout or credibility to rally the troops. I had appointed him as a sort of nightwatchman, but he seemed to have to sleep on the job.
Margaret Thatcher
I hope we shall see more ande more women combining marriage and a career. Prejudice against this dual role is not confined to men. I regret to say, it comes from our own sex.
Margaret Thatcher
We need a free economy not only for the renewed material prosperity it will bring, but because it is indispensable to individual freedom, human dignity and to a more just, more honest society.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher
When will Labour learn that you cannot build Jerusalem in Brussels.
Margaret Thatcher
The accumulation of wealth is a process which is of itself morally neutral. True, as Christianity teaches, riches bring temptations. But then so does poverty.
Margaret Thatcher
I do believe that political arrangements which are based upon violence, intimidation and theft will eventually break down - and will deserve to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
Margaret Thatcher
Each generation has to stand up for democracy. It can't take anything for granted and may have to fight fundamental battles anew.
Margaret Thatcher
History has taught us that freedom cannot long survive unless it is based on moral foundations. You can get the economics right, but in addition liberty must be cultivated as a moral quality.
Margaret Thatcher
Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.
Margaret Thatcher
The patronage state is an arrogant state. It assumes it can spend your money better than you do. Yet it expects you to work for it in the first place.
Margaret Thatcher
The spirit of envy can destroy it can never build.
Margaret Thatcher
It seems like cloud cuckoo land. If anyone is suggesting that I would go to Parliament and suggest the abolition of the Pound Sterling - no! We have made it quite clear that we will not have a single currency imposed upon us.
Margaret Thatcher
The battle for women's rights has largely been won. The days when they were demanded and discussed in strident tones should be gone forever. I hate those strident tones we hear from some Women's Libbers.
Margaret Thatcher
If you go into what I call a bubble boom, every bubble bursts.
