More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy.
Margaret Thatcher
Isn't a policy of conventional weapons, with the terrible bombs raining down, with the missiles, with the aircraft, with the submarines, with the torpedoes, with the tanks, with chemical weapons - isn't that based on the possibility of threat?
Margaret Thatcher
One only gets to the top rung on the ladder by steadily climbing up one at a time, and suddenly, all sorts of powers, all sorts of abilities which you thought never belonged to you - suddenly become within your own possibility and you think, 'Well, I'll have a go, too.'
Margaret Thatcher
We had to do what we had to do - Britain is great again.
Margaret Thatcher
I will not change just to court popularity.
Margaret Thatcher
Israel must never be expected to jeopardize her security: if she was ever foolish enough to do so, and then suffered for it, the backlash against both honest brokers and Palestinians would be immense - 'land for peace' must also bring peace.
Margaret Thatcher
Why do you climb philosophical hills? Because they are worth climbing . . . There are no hills to go down unless you start from the top.
Margaret Thatcher
I started out in life with two great advantages: No money and good parents.
Margaret Thatcher
Failure? The possibilities do not exist.
Margaret Thatcher
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Margaret Thatcher
Putting the World to Rights
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
Marxists get up early to further their cause. We must get up even earlier to defend our freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the absence of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
Let us, then, draw together in the name, not of jingoism, but of justice
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
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
When government does its job properly people are free to do theirs.
Margaret Thatcher
Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.
Margaret Thatcher
