Margaret Thatcher
There are always dangers about. Therefore you must always keep your defences strong.
Margaret Thatcher
Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.

Margaret Thatcher
You will only succeed if you know that what you are doing is right and you know how to bring out the best in people.
Margaret Thatcher
I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.
Margaret Thatcher
When will Labour learn that you cannot build Jerusalem in Brussels.
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians are bent on world dominance, and they are rapidly acquiring the means to become the most powerful imperial nation the world has seen. The men in the Soviet Politburo do not have to worry about the ebb and flow of public opinion. They put guns before butter, while we put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
