More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I do not understand the unilateralists. If they hated nuclear weapons as much as I do they would want them down in the world as a whole. I am the true disarmer, I keep peace and freedom and justice with it.
Margaret Thatcher
I can't bear Britain in decline. I just can't.
Margaret Thatcher
It is no exaggeration to describe plain English as a fundamental tool of government.
Margaret Thatcher
Wars are not caused by the buildup of weapons. They are caused when an aggressor believes he can achieve his objectives at an acceptable price.
Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society.
Margaret Thatcher
The government has no money of its own. It's all your money.
Margaret Thatcher

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
We have made too much of one or two people, and we think that they can win or lose elections for us. Don't be depressed if one particular person transgresses. It doesn't lose an election unless the Party loses faith in itself.
Margaret Thatcher
Leadership is about having principles. A leader must have a vision and principles that will endure for all time and must always be true to these principles, applying them to changing circumstances
Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians put guns before butter. We put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
The larger the slice taken by government, the smaller the cake available for everyone.
Margaret Thatcher
In a system of free trade and free markets poor countries - and poor people - are not poor because others are rich. Indeed, if others became less rich the poor would in all probability become still poorer.
Margaret Thatcher
The Prime Minister is stealing our clothes but he is going to look pretty ridiculous walking around in mine.
Margaret Thatcher
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.
