More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I've got my teeth into him, and I'm not going to let go.
Margaret Thatcher
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
Margaret Thatcher
I am always on the job.
Margaret Thatcher
It is no exaggeration to describe plain English as a fundamental tool of government.
Margaret Thatcher
The acid test of politics is not what you say at the hustings, but what you actually do in government.
Margaret Thatcher
There's no such thing as society.
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
I have never knowingly made a non-controversial speech in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
I couldn't live without work. That's what makes me so sympathetic towards those people who are unemployed. I don't know how they live without working.
Margaret Thatcher
When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.
Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
Margaret Thatcher
A man may climb Everest for himself, but at the summit he plants his country's flag.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm also very much aware that it is you who brought democracy to Chile, you set up a constitution suitable for democracy, you put it into effect, elections were held, and then, in accordance with the result, you stepped down.
Margaret Thatcher
I've got a woman's ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.
Margaret Thatcher
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
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
All attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. It must be business as usual.
Margaret Thatcher
(On The International Criminal Court) For the victors of the Cold War to submit to an unelected, unaccountable, and almost certainly hostile body such as that envisaged would be the ultimate irony.
Margaret Thatcher
Being powerful is a lot like being a woman: If you have to tell someone that you are, invariably, you are not.
Margaret Thatcher
Being democratic is not enough, a majority cannot turn what is wrong into right. In order to be considered truly free, countries must also have a deep love of liberty and an abiding respect for the rule of law.
Margaret Thatcher
