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
Yet the basic fact remains: every regulation represents a restriction of liberty, every regulation has a cost. That is why, like marriage (in the Prayer Book's words), regulation should not be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly
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
No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy-with a full repairing lease.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.

Economics are the method the object is to change the soul.
Margaret Thatcher
For the Christian there can be no social or political panaceas, no easy escapes from personal responsibility achieved by collectivising guilt or virtue. The true ends of temporal life lie beyond it, and, though the tyrannical State may diminish virtue, the benevolent State cannot procure it.
Margaret Thatcher
Any attempts by any government to change Community legislation to its own wishes are doomed to failure following the extension of policy areas now subject to majority voting... In our opinion, this must have serious implications for the traditional view of Parliament as a legislative body sovereignty.
Margaret Thatcher
We were told our campaign wasn't sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom is not synonymous with an easy life. ... There are many difficult things about freedom: It does not give you safety, it creates moral dilemmas for you it requires self-discipline it imposes great responsibilities but such is the nature of Man and in such consists his glory and salvation.
Margaret Thatcher
If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
Margaret Thatcher
When I look at him [Edward Heath] and he looks at me, I don't feel that it is a man looking at a woman. More like a woman being looked at by another woman.
Margaret Thatcher
All corporatism - even when practised in societies where hard work, enterprise and cooperation are as highly valued as in Korea - encourages inflexibility, discourages individual accountability, and risks magnifying errors by concealing them.
Margaret Thatcher
I believe our way of life is infinitely superior for every human being than any which the Communist creed can offer.
