More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I started out in life with two great advantages: No money and good parents.
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan knew his own mind. He had firm principles - and, I believe, right ones. He expounded them clearly, he acted upon them decisively.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't think any woman in power really has a happy life unless she's got a large number of women friends ... because you sometimes must go and sit down and let down your hair with someone you can trust totally.
Margaret Thatcher
Being powerful is a lot like being a woman: If you have to tell someone that you are, invariably, you are not.
Margaret Thatcher
I had the patriotic conviction that, given great leadership of the sort I heard from Winston Churchill in the radio broadcasts to which we listened, there was almost nothing that the British people could not do.
Margaret Thatcher
It is no exaggeration to describe plain English as a fundamental tool of government.
Margaret Thatcher
Young people ought not to be idle, it is very bad for them.
Margaret Thatcher
Working hard may not make you rich, but it should make you successful.
Margaret Thatcher
Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about. ... In short, the state [is] everything and the individual nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
Any attempts by any government to change Community legislation to its own wishes are doomed to failure following the extension of policy areas now subject to majority voting... In our opinion, this must have serious implications for the traditional view of Parliament as a legislative body sovereignty.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not believe that if you cut back what government does you diminish its authority. On the contrary, a government that did less, and therefore did better, would strengthen its authority.
Margaret Thatcher
When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine
Margaret Thatcher
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
Margaret Thatcher
I do not understand the unilateralists. If they hated nuclear weapons as much as I do they would want them down in the world as a whole. I am the true disarmer, I keep peace and freedom and justice with it.
Margaret Thatcher
Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Margaret Thatcher
A quick cure is a quack cure.
Margaret Thatcher
I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.
Margaret Thatcher
Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.
Margaret Thatcher
No theory of government was ever given a fairer test or a more prolonged experiment in a democratic country than democratic socialism received in Britain. Yet it was a miserable failure in every respect... To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukemia with leeches.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the negation of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
