More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
Margaret Thatcher
When in August 1793 a British delegation showed their hosts a terrestrial globe, it turned into a diplomatic incident, for the Chinese were furious to see that their empire covered so little of it. For centuries the Chinese had thought of themselves as 'The Middle Kingdom', that is the centre of the civilized world. To see otherwise was a shock.
Margaret Thatcher
We want a society in which we are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. That is what we mean by a moral society - not a society in which the State is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the State.
Margaret Thatcher
Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't want to fight any wars if you can get them off before we get there, you do it, but off they go.
Margaret Thatcher
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
Margaret Thatcher
We Conservatives hate unemployment.
Margaret Thatcher
It seems like cloud cuckoo land. If anyone is suggesting that I would go to Parliament and suggest the abolition of the Pound Sterling - no! We have made it quite clear that we will not have a single currency imposed upon us.
Margaret Thatcher
Putting the World to Rights
Margaret Thatcher
Let us, then, draw together in the name, not of jingoism, but of justice
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians are bent on world dominance, and they are rapidly acquiring the means to become the most powerful imperial nation the world has seen. The men in the Soviet Politburo do not have to worry about the ebb and flow of public opinion. They put guns before butter, while we put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
[On Ronald Reagan:] Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears.
Margaret Thatcher
I started out in life with two great advantages: No money and good parents.
Margaret Thatcher
I am not hard - I'm frightfully soft. But I will not be hounded
Margaret Thatcher
The European single currency is bound to fail, economically, politically and indeed socially, though the timing, occasion and full consequences are all necessarily still unclear.
Margaret Thatcher
In those days one advantage of being a woman was that there was a basic courtesy towards us on which we could draw - something which today's feminists have largely dissipated.
Margaret Thatcher
When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine
Margaret Thatcher
Whether manufactured by black, white, brown or yellow hands, a widget remains a widget – and it will be bought anywhere if the price and quality are right. The market is a more powerful and more reliable liberating force than government can ever be.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose Socialism.
Margaret Thatcher
Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Margaret Thatcher
