Margaret Thatcher
As a motive for terror, religion has more often than not required a good deal of lubrication by lucre.
Margaret Thatcher
If it's me against 48, I feel sorry for the 48.
Margaret Thatcher
If a woman like Eva Peron with no ideals can get that far, think how far I can go with the ideals that I have.
Margaret Thatcher
Economics are the method the object is to change the soul.
Margaret Thatcher
When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.
Margaret Thatcher
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Margaret Thatcher
Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.
