Margaret Thatcher
I would not wish to be Prime Minister, dear.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not achieve happiness or salvation in isolation from each other but as members of society
Margaret Thatcher
Countries trade with each other - or to be more precise people buy and sell from each other across frontiers - because that is the way to advance their interests. We do not need to beg people to trade with us - as long as we have something that people want, of a quality they expect and at a price they are prepared to pay.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.
Margaret Thatcher
I was asked whether I was trying to restore Victorian values. I said straight out I was. And I am.
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians put guns before butter. We put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
I couldn't live without work. That's what makes me so sympathetic towards those people who are unemployed. I don't know how they live without working.
Margaret Thatcher
I wasn't lucky. I deserved it.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose Socialism.
Margaret Thatcher
I exercise my right as a free citizen to spend my own money in my own way, so that I can go on the day, the time, to the doctor I choose and get out fast.
Margaret Thatcher
I have very strong views about Europe. We're quite the best country. We rescued them. We're not going to get entangled with them. We've got to keep our own independence. Is that clear?
Margaret Thatcher
