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
The spirit of envy can destroy it can never build.
Margaret Thatcher
If you set out to be liked, you will accomplish nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
The government has no money of its own. It's all your money.
Margaret Thatcher
The larger the slice taken by government, the smaller the cake available for everyone.
