More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
We want a society in which we are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. That is what we mean by a moral society - not a society in which the State is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the State.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher
I can cope with nine of them, so they ought to be able to stand one of me. They could end the tiresomeness and stubbornness by giving me what I want.
Margaret Thatcher
Forget that I'm a woman. Forget the accusations that I am a Right Winger demanding privilege - I had precious little privilege in my early years.
Margaret Thatcher
I hate feminism. It is poison.
Margaret Thatcher
Hope is no basis for a defense policy.
Margaret Thatcher
I couldn't live without work. That's what makes me so sympathetic towards those people who are unemployed. I don't know how they live without working.
Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher
Platitudes? Yes, there are platitudes. Platitudes are there because they are true.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Whether at home or abroad, the task of statesman is to work with human nature warts and all, and to draw on instincts and even prejudices that can be turned to good purpose. It is never to try to recreate Mankind in a new image.
Margaret Thatcher
When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.
Margaret Thatcher
Please don't use the word tough. People might get the impression that I don't care. And I do care, very deeply. Resilient, I think.
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 will not change just to court popularity.
Margaret Thatcher
There are always dangers about. Therefore you must always keep your defences strong.
Margaret Thatcher
I hope we shall see more ande more women combining marriage and a career. Prejudice against this dual role is not confined to men. I regret to say, it comes from our own sex.
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
We have made too much of one or two people, and we think that they can win or lose elections for us. Don't be depressed if one particular person transgresses. It doesn't lose an election unless the Party loses faith in itself.
Margaret Thatcher
