More quotes by 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 am an ally of the United States. We believe the same things, we believe passionately in the same battle of ideas, we will defend them to the hilt. Never try to separate me from them.
Margaret Thatcher
When hecklers stand up, I get a mental jump for joy. It gives me something to get my teeth into - and the audiences love it.
Margaret Thatcher
Forget that I'm a woman. Forget the accusations that I am a Right Winger demanding privilege - I had precious little privilege in my early years.
Margaret Thatcher
I went to Oxford University - but I've never let that hold me back.
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
You do not achieve anything without trouble, ever.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm back... and you knew I was coming. On my way here I passed a cinema with the sign 'The Mummy Returns'.
Margaret Thatcher
We are a British nation with British characteristics. Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.
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
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.
Margaret Thatcher
We intend freedom and justice to conquer. Yes, we do have a creed and we wish others to share it. But it is not part of our policy to impose our beliefs by force or threat of force.
Margaret Thatcher
I never hugged him, I bombed him.
Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
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
To me consensus seems to be - the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no-one believes, but to which no-one objects.
Margaret Thatcher
I was turned out because I said to Europe no, no, no. That no, no , no has now turned into yes, yes. Two yes's not three because he got the Social Chapter out and he's reserved his position on the single currency.
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
I wasn't lucky. I deserved it.
Margaret Thatcher
Young people ought not to be idle, it is very bad for them.
Margaret Thatcher
