More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I was asked whether I was trying to restore Victorian values. I said straight out I was. And I am.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not achieve happiness or salvation in isolation from each other but as members of society
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
Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them.
Margaret Thatcher
We are a British nation with British characteristics. Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.
Margaret Thatcher
For Dicey, writing in 1885, and for me reading him some seventy years later, the rule of law still had a very English, or at least Anglo-Saxon, feel to it.

Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher
The desire to win is born in most of us. The will to win is a matter of training. The manner of winning is a matter of honour.
Margaret Thatcher
I never hugged him, I bombed him.
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
Margaret Thatcher
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
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
It is always important in matters of high politics to know what you do not know. Those who think they know, but are mistaken, and act upon their mistakes, are the most dangerous people to have in charge.
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
I am not immortal, but I've got a lot left in me yet.
Margaret Thatcher
