More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I might have preferred iron - but bronze will do. It won't rust. This time I hope, the head will stay on.
Margaret Thatcher
[When asked how it felt to be a female prime minister:] I don't know: I've never experienced the alternative.
Margaret Thatcher
I must be absolutely clear about this. Britain cannot accept the present situation on the Budget. It is demonstrably unjust.

Life's greatest reward is life itself
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
Ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists' morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.
Margaret Thatcher
And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark divisive clouds of Marxist socialism.
Margaret Thatcher
I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.
Margaret Thatcher
Rooster, maybe well crows, but the eggs still bears the chicken.
Margaret Thatcher
We had to do what we had to do - Britain is great again.
Margaret Thatcher
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
Margaret Thatcher
