More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
I think Essex Man will vote for a Conservative Government.
Margaret Thatcher
Our judgement is that the presence of the Royal Marines garrison is sufficient deterrent against any possible aggression.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose Socialism.
Margaret Thatcher
If we are safe today, it is because America has stood with us. If we are to remain safe tomorrow, it will be because America remains powerful and self-confident. When, therefore, the Americans face difficulties, we need to say to them more clearly: We are with you.
Margaret Thatcher
My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.
Margaret Thatcher
Economics are the method the object is to change the soul.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians put guns before butter. We put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
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 don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
Those who imagine that a politician would make a better figurehead than a hereditary monarch might perhaps make the acquaintance of more politicians.
Margaret Thatcher
I will not change just to court popularity.
Margaret Thatcher
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
Margaret Thatcher
The West as a whole in the early 1990s become obsessed with a 'peace dividend' that would be spent over and over again on any number of soft-hearted and sometimes soft-headed causes. Politicians forget that the only real peace dividend is peace.
Margaret Thatcher
Platitudes? Yes, there are platitudes. Platitudes are there because they are true.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
