I have a habit of comparing the phraseology of communiques . . . noting a certain similarity of words, a certain similarity of optimism . . . and a certain similarity in the lack of practical results during the ensuring years.

More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
When government does its job properly people are free to do theirs.
Margaret Thatcher
As the former dissident Vladimir Bukovsky once remarked – referring to the Russian proverb to the effect that you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs – he had seen plenty of broken eggs, but never tasted any omelette.
Margaret Thatcher
Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
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
I've got a woman's ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.
Margaret Thatcher
During my lifetime most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or another, from mainland Europe and the solution from outside it.
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
I'm not a good butcher but I've had to learn to carve the joint. People expect a new look.
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
If you go into what I call a bubble boom, every bubble bursts.
Margaret Thatcher
A bully has no respect for a weakling and the way to stop a bully is not to be weak. The way to stop a bully from ever being a bully is to say: I'm as strong as you. Anything you do to me, I can do to you. We are going for nuclear and conventional disarmament but we're going about it in the right way.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher
The government has no money of its own. It's all your money.
Margaret Thatcher
The Prime Minister is stealing our clothes but he is going to look pretty ridiculous walking around in mine.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the absence of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
I will not stagger from expedient to expedient.
Margaret Thatcher
I hate feminism. It is poison.
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 don't know what I would do without Whitelaw. Everyone should have a Willy.
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
