More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
Margaret Thatcher
No theory of government was ever given a fairer test or a more prolonged experiment in a democratic country than democratic socialism received in Britain. Yet it was a miserable failure in every respect... To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukemia with leeches.
Margaret Thatcher
Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.
Margaret Thatcher
Communism produces neither dignity nor prosperity. It takes all power away from the people and places it in the hands of a self-appointed elite. And because it distorts and manipulates the distinctive talents of individuals rather than letting those talents flourish, it prevents progress and prosperity.
Margaret Thatcher
The government has no money of its own. It's all your money.
Margaret Thatcher
No Western nation has to build a wall round itself to keep its people in.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't want to fight any wars if you can get them off before we get there, you do it, but off they go.

Margaret Thatcher
I love his music because he was my generation. But then again, Elvis is everyone's generation, and he always will be.
Margaret Thatcher
When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine
Margaret Thatcher
Economics are the method the object is to change the soul.
Margaret Thatcher
When in August 1793 a British delegation showed their hosts a terrestrial globe, it turned into a diplomatic incident, for the Chinese were furious to see that their empire covered so little of it. For centuries the Chinese had thought of themselves as 'The Middle Kingdom', that is the centre of the civilized world. To see otherwise was a shock.
Margaret Thatcher
The spirit of envy can destroy it can never build.
Margaret Thatcher
I have never knowingly made a non-controversial speech in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
The mission of this government is much more than the promotion of economic progress. It is to renew the spirit and solidarity of the nation.
Margaret Thatcher
When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands.
Margaret Thatcher
Let us, then, draw together in the name, not of jingoism, but of justice
Margaret Thatcher
A democratic Europe of nation states could be a force for liberty, enterprise and open trade. But, if creating a United States of Europe overrides these goals, the new Europe will be one of subsidy and protection
Margaret Thatcher
If it's me against 48, I feel sorry for the 48.
Margaret Thatcher
Tyranny must not prevail.
