More quotes by 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
There are always dangers about. Therefore you must always keep your defences strong.
Margaret Thatcher
The choice facing the nation is between two totally different ways of life. And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark, divisive clouds of Marxist socialism and bring together men and women from all walks of life who share a belief in freedom.
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
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
We had to do what we had to do - Britain is great again.

And because it distorts and manipulates the distinctive talents of individuals rather than letting those talents flourish, it prevents progress and prosperity.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
If your only opportunity is to be equal then it is not opportunity.
Margaret Thatcher
I can't bear Britain in decline. I just can't.
Margaret Thatcher
All attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. It must be business as usual.
Margaret Thatcher
It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.
Margaret Thatcher
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Margaret Thatcher
All the general propositions favouring freedom I had .. imbibed at my father's knee or acquired by candle-end reading of Burke and Hayek...
Margaret Thatcher
The habit of ubiquitous interventionism, combining pinprick strikes by precision weapons with pious invocations of high principle, would lead us into endless difficulties. Interventions must be limited in number and overwhelming in their impact.
Margaret Thatcher
Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.
Margaret Thatcher
I am an ally of the United States. We believe the same things, we believe passionately in the same battle of ideas, we will defend them to the hilt. Never try to separate me from them.
Margaret Thatcher
Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.
Margaret Thatcher
A bully has no respect for a weakling and the way to stop a bully is not to be weak. The way to stop a bully from ever being a bully is to say: I'm as strong as you. Anything you do to me, I can do to you. We are going for nuclear and conventional disarmament but we're going about it in the right way.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe a great deal to the church for everything in which I believe. I am very glad that I was brought up strictly. I was a very serious child. There was not a lot of fun and sparkle in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
