More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I want to get totally rid of class distinction. As someone put it one of the papers this morning: Marks and Spencer have triumphed over Karl Marx and Engels.
Margaret Thatcher
Free enterprise has enabled the creative and the acquisitive urges of man to be given expression in a way which benefits all members of society. Let free enterprise fight back now, not for itself, but for all those who believe in freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
The Labour Party believes in turning workers against owners we believe in turning workers into owners.
Margaret Thatcher
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose Socialism.
Margaret Thatcher
Let us never forget this fundamental truth: The State has no source of money other than the money people themselves earn.
Margaret Thatcher
This business of the working class is on its way out I think. After all, aren't I working class? I work jolly hard, I can tell you.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm happy as a dog with two dicks
Margaret Thatcher
I want a capital-earning democracy. Every man and woman a capitalist. Housing is the start. If you're a man or woman of property, you've got something. So every man a capitalist, and every man a man of property.
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
History has taught us that freedom cannot long survive unless it is based on moral foundations. You can get the economics right, but in addition liberty must be cultivated as a moral quality.
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
Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
I believe our way of life is infinitely superior for every human being than any which the Communist creed can offer.
Margaret Thatcher
The accumulation of wealth is a process which is of itself morally neutral. True, as Christianity teaches, riches bring temptations. But then so does poverty.
Margaret Thatcher
Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.
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
Each generation has to stand up for democracy. It can't take anything for granted and may have to fight fundamental battles anew.
Margaret Thatcher
A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
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
