Margaret Thatcher
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
Margaret Thatcher

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
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you tonight in my … chiffon evening gown, my face softly made up, my fair hair gently waved, the Iron Lady of the Western world. Me? A Cold War warrior? … Well, yes — if that is how they wish to interpret my defense of values of freedoms fundamental to our way of life.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
Margaret Thatcher
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Free enterprise has enabled the creative and the acquisitive urges of man to be given expression in a way which benefits all members of society. Let free enterprise fight back now, not for itself, but for all those who believe in freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
We were told our campaign wasn't sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment.
Margaret Thatcher
The Nuremburg trials were attacked at the time as 'victor's justice'. And this is precisely what they were - and were intended to be.
Margaret Thatcher
Good Conservatives always pay their bills. And on time. Not like the Socialists who run up other people's bills.
Margaret Thatcher
No great goal was ever easily achieved.
Margaret Thatcher
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
Margaret Thatcher
If you are guided by opinion polls, you are not practicing leadership -- you are practicing followership.
Margaret Thatcher
I still want to play in it, maybe when I absolutely think I have no chance of playing in it my view might change but I doubt it because it just doesn't interest me.
Margaret Thatcher
You do not achieve anything without trouble, ever.
Margaret Thatcher
I think Essex Man will vote for a Conservative Government.
