Being democratic is not enough, a majority cannot turn what is wrong into right. In order to be considered truly free, countries must also have a deep love of liberty and an abiding respect for the rule of law.

More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I shall fight on, I shall fight to win.
Margaret Thatcher
Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
Margaret Thatcher
It is not the business of politicians to please everyone.
Margaret Thatcher
Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.
Margaret Thatcher
If... many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean - power over people, power to the State.

Margaret Thatcher
Working hard may not make you rich, but it should make you successful.
Margaret Thatcher
The accumulation of wealth is a process which is of itself morally neutral. True, as Christianity teaches, riches bring temptations. But then so does poverty.
Margaret Thatcher
I calculate that I was responsible for proposing the elevation to the Lords of some 214 of its present numbers.
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
Business success isn't just a selfish aim. Profits spread beyond those who make them and bring jobs and prosperity.
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
We introduced the Community Charge. I still call it that. I like the Poles - I never had any intention of taxing them.
Margaret Thatcher
We Conservatives hate unemployment.
Margaret Thatcher
I will not change just to court popularity.
Margaret Thatcher
