More quotes by Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
I have never knowingly made a non-controversial speech in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
I've got my teeth into him, and I'm not going to let go.
Margaret Thatcher
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
Margaret Thatcher
A leader is someone who knows what they want to achieve and can communicate that.
Margaret Thatcher
The Third World is very much like the First World - just poorer: what works for the West will work for the rest as well.
Margaret Thatcher
Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
Margaret Thatcher
There are too few rich and too few profits.
Margaret Thatcher
If you set out to be liked, you will accomplish nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
