More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan you should wear it inside, where it functions best.
Margaret Thatcher
No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy-with a full repairing lease.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm standing up for the right of self-determination. I'm standing up for our territory. I'm standing up for our people. I'm standing up for international law. I'm standing up for all those territories - those small territories and peoples the world over - who, if someone doesn't stand up and say to an invader 'enough, stop', would be at risk.
Margaret Thatcher
If you have a sense of purpose and a sense of direction, I believe people will follow you. Democracy isn't just about deducing what the people want. Democracy is leading the people as well.
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
I just owe almost everything to my father and it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
Margaret Thatcher
Wars are not caused by the buildup of weapons. They are caused when an aggressor believes he can achieve his objectives at an acceptable price.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean - power over people, power to the State.
Margaret Thatcher
I hate feminism. It is poison.
Margaret Thatcher
I think, historically, the term 'Thatcherism' will be seen as a compliment.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe a great deal to the church for everything in which I believe. I am very glad that I was brought up strictly. I was a very serious child. There was not a lot of fun and sparkle in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.
Margaret Thatcher
The desire to win is born in most of us. The will to win is a matter of training. The manner of winning is a matter of honour.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
Margaret Thatcher
I have a habit of comparing the phraseology of communiques . . . noting a certain similarity of words, a certain similarity of optimism . . . and a certain similarity in the lack of practical results during the ensuring years.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the absence of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
We went back on a very similar manifesto to things I believe in. The difference is that after eighteen months to two years he did the biggest U-turn on policy of all time and started to go the wrong way. In the end, that cost us the next election.
Margaret Thatcher
All attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. It must be business as usual.
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.
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
